Alexandre,

Thank you for reporting this bug. However, I do wish that you would
properly follow procedures before doing an NMU! In particular, quoting
from [1]:

* Did you give enough time to the maintainer? When was the bug reported
  to the BTS? Being busy for a week or two isn't unusual. Is the bug so
  severe that it needs to be fixed right now, or can it wait a few more
  days?

* Have you clearly expressed your intention to NMU, at least in the BTS?
  If that didn't generate any feedback, it might also be a good idea to
  try to contact the maintainer by other means (email to the maintainer
  addresses or private email, IRC).

* If the maintainer is usually active and responsive, have you tried to
  contact them? In general it should be considered preferable that
  maintainers take care of an issue themselves and that they are given
  the chance to review and correct your patch, because they can be
  expected to be more aware of potential issues which an NMUer might
  miss. It is often a better use of everyone's time if the maintainer is
  given an opportunity to upload a fix on their own.

* When doing an NMU, you must first make sure that your intention to NMU
  is clear. Then, you must send a patch with the differences between the
  current package and your proposed NMU to the BTS. The nmudiff script
  in the devscripts package might be helpful.

* Unless you have an excellent reason not to do so, you must then give
  some time to the maintainer to react (for example, by uploading to the
  DELAYED queue).

For points 2 and 4 above, an e-mail or an MR on Salsa would
suffice. Please keep this in mind going forward.

What is done is done. Please at the very least file an MR for your exact
changes on Salsa, so you do not create extra work for me. Thank you.
