Yes I understand. Honestly I'm not using sqldeveloper-package but only helping out on current RC bugs for wheezy. I have now cancelled my NMU upload. I would now suggest to try the following: Have a look at the freeze policy and try to adapt the required changes you think are necessary for the package to have it in wheezy. As next step, create a debdiff against current version in testing and then via an unblock request first ask for a (pre-)approval of the package. You can keep me in CC, so that if the Release-Team gives their ACK to it, I can sponsor your upload to the archive. Does this helps? Regards, Salvatore
