Great! > I'm unsure about what the procedure is now that you got an NMU in the > pipeline. I see 3 possibilities: - I cancel the NMU, and you ask your sponsor to upload the new package. - We let to NMU go through, and you still ask your sponsor for an upload of the updated package. - I sponsor the new package; I had a quick look, there are some minor things I'd change (e.g. remove the quilt build-dep), and at least one showstopper: The package doesn't build twice.
