Here's an update on this bug: I've completed the packaging for 1.3.0-rc1 -- that took a lot more work than it should have because there are still unreleasable codec documentation files in the upstream tarball (and new unreleasable files too, argh!). [Each time I find new unreleasable files it means starting the work over, in order to keep the unreleasable files out of the Git history.]
Unfortunately the resulting debdiff between the package before the Buster freeze and 1.3.0~rc1+dfsg-1 is about 10 MB in size. And it looks like it's a lot of real "sprinkled" changes throughout the code, not just the result of file re-ordering or repack file removal. It's a large amount of actual change. I doubt this package is going to get accepted by the Release Team, because upload after the freeze is meant for only small targeted fixes. I'll make the request to see if it's possible, but I expect that the chances of this being accepted to be very low. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
