Hi Moritz (cc the "New Upstream Version" bugreport),

Hi Jonas, did you see this, you'll need to poke FTP masters to get ghostscript out of NEW: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/10/msg00012.html
Good point.Yes, I am aware of that. I didn't buy them chocolate, but posted the attached email - so far without any response from them.
If you (or anyone else following this) have time and ideas for additional moves to help this process, I would appreciate help.
My plan is this: 1) Package new upstream release [done] 2) Release for experimental [done - pending ftpmaster approval] 3a) Verify that it builds properly on all archs 3b) Suggest bugreporters to test that new packaging [partly done] 4) Release for unstable 5) Request approval from Release ManagersHelp is much appreciated with 3b. See http://bugs.debian.org/583738#78 for info on the backports I have made available for eventual testers.
Help spreading the word of the need for testing and analysis of what actually is solved with the new release (both already filed bugs and things not registered at the Debian bts) is highly appreciated.
