You are right: I should have mentioned the timing. I have had too many bad experiences with abandoned packages (which this is not, though there has not been much significant work on it in Debian for a while). It can be frustrating to do work to fix something and find out months later that nothing has come of it. In other words, I would be happier if there is some way that does not involve polling indefinitely. I would rather do a 45-day delayed NMU [1] than have to pester. > through the BTS. sometimes direct mail is more effective (I know it is > with me personally, and I've had similar experiences with other > developers).

Thanks for the advice, Jonathan [1] Sadly, I think the queue only goes to 15 days. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
