Let's list a few things: * I didn't like that there was no notification on the bug report * Raising the severity doesn't really imply anything * The release goal has not been acked by the release team AFAIK * You could have probably saved some time yourself by not NMUing every single package. In my case, for kgb, I highly doubt anyone uses it on arm* and one upload per release to clean it up should be enough (there won't be any new releases upstream). Anyway, it came as a surprise, but I didn't complain when I saw dak's email because I really don't mind. If you ask me, I would say that providing a magic for file(1) as I said on debian-arm[1] would be more useful that NMUing a few hanging fruits. Lintian will annoy people with one tag per ELF object otherwise.
