"already uploaded" is like "shoot first, ask questions later", so I am
not amused.

I was going to request a stable update anyway in about two days from
now; the plan was to create buster-pu ticket for a backport of
CVE-2020-5202 fix AND also include a backport of the length fix. What
you created anyway now. Well then, I suggest to wait another day or two
and just reuse your ticket.

CVE details:
https://salsa.debian.org/blade/apt-cacher-ng/commit/3b91874b0c099b0ded1a94f1784fe1265082efbc
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/a/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher-ng_3.3.1-1_changelog

At release team, please advise: could I also introduce the little fix of
#948259? It's really peanuts but would make ArchLinux people happy. See
https://salsa.debian.org/blade/apt-cacher-ng/commit/a685db7aee472dd2c85f430aa345b28e22a60d9e
for details.

Also, since I am the upstream author:
shall I make a real upstream release for that?

(you can say no because of any process requirements the release team has
in mind but that would not make much sense since I will create that
upstream release version anyway, ending up in an official 3.2.1 version
and a Debian-specific 3.2-3 revision with effectively the same code)

Best regards,
Eduard.
