Why exactly should I have hesitated to NMU? devref 5.11.1., "How to do a NMU"? : NMUs which fix important, serious or higher severity bugs are encouraged and accepted. You should endeavor to reach the current maintainer of the package; they might be just about to upload a fix for the problem, or have a better solution. [...] At times, the release manager or an organized group of developers can announce a certain period of time in which the NMU rules are relaxed. This usually involves shortening the period during which one is to wait before uploading the fixes, and shortening the DELAYED period. It is important to notice that even in these so-called bug squashing party times, the NMU'er has to file bugs and contact the developer first, and act later. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
