Hi,
Please go ahead with the upload and remove the moreinfo tag when it is
in unstable and ready to be unblocked.
For future reference:
* We generally need to full debdiff to know exactly what we will be
approving. In this case, I assumed you need that change plus an
upload to d/changelog only (hopefully sparing us from a round trip)
* Assuming this is indeed the only change, it would have been faster
and easier for both parties if you had uploaded it to sid in parallel
with the unblock request.
- I appreciate that you may prefer a "rather safe than sorry"-
approach, which is greatly appreciated with potential risky
changes.
Thanks,
~Niels
