The naive question at the end of the request was sincere. What should I do exactly?
Should I rebuild and reupload each package manually? Or prepare lines like: nmu adabrowse_4.0.3-9 . ANY . -m 'Reupload to unstable to complete the gnat-8 transition.' dw music123_16.4-3 . ANY . -m 'gnat (>= 8)' dw topal_78-1 . ANY . -m 'gnat (>= 8)' Should I fill separate bugs for the removal of polyorb and spark? Instructions at https://release.debian.org/wanna-build.html seem contradictory. If the binNMUs are required by a transition, please check if there is an open bug for that transition in the release.debian.org pseudopackage, and if so request the binNMUs by following up on that bug report. [...] If you're asking for binNMUs for a transition, you need not use this syntax, nor give a comprehensive list of packages: the Release Team has tools to auto-generate it, and will do so anyway. Just mention if any package should not be binNMUed for some reason. gb and dw are for failed builds only. Once a package has been built and added to the archive, use a binNMU to rebuild it. Thanks.
