Not huge but significant. I will certainly drop it for bullseye. But it's too late for buster. I don't want to argue with RM on this. I have other package (im-config) which I an requesting unblock and RM doesn't seem to care. I want to save RM's patience for it. If you get pre-approval for unblock, you can go ahead to make NMU with my approval. Regards, Osamu
