Hi everybody, its really that simple to close a bug which I'm doing here without a line of code closing my first bug in this mail after having checked that zstd has hit backports and adding "882244-d...@bugs.debian.org" to the list of receivers of this mail.
Not all bugs are *that* simple to solve but **everybody** is kindly invited to head for the simple ones right now.
