Thanks for your answer, though I have to look up what "fully-justified request for a release unblock" means. Well, I could open a few bug reports to libpsl (which already have been fixed upstream)... but it seems pretty pointless ;-) I guess you are all pretty busy... I am not in a hurry and will wait for the unfreeze. Sorry for being a bit clueless about Debian organisation. It's the first time I came in contact with it. Tim
