I've cancelled the NMU. Please keep in mind that you are not maintaining a leaf package. At the end of this month the problem will exist in Debian for 3 months, having created troubles and additional work for multiple maintainers. 10 packages (plus doxygen itself) do currently FTBFS due to this bug. I want to fix unrelated RC bugs in 2 of these packages (openms, toulbar2), which is blocked until doxygen is fixed. 11 other packages have already implemented workarounds for this breakage. This was additional work for the maintainers. And these workarounds (often dropping documentation) should be removed once doxygen has been fixed, which is again work. One package (developers-reference, #1114478) has a FTBFS bug that was for 2 months wrongly attributed to this doxygen breakage. > Paolo cu Adrian
