Hello,
>While the package maintainer's is on the LowNMU list, a new upstream release >with a 447407 line diff is not appropriate here, especially that the bug has >been reported only 6½ days ago and is only severity:important. > >Please get an ok from the maintainer. this is true in general, unfortunately Chrisb is inactive since one year or so, and his last upload is around 5 years ago. I have sponsored the latest major upload of this package, and everything has been good so far. My opinion is to review and eventually go in deferred/15 after a while, considering that I'm ccing Chris in this email. So, if you want I can take care of this one BTW all of the diff, except for ~100 lines is about autotools autogenerated stuff :) G.
