John, I hope you are alone with your temptation ... The e-mail I sent made several exceptions from the freeze, one of them fixing RC reports. So yes, you are supposed to fix these problems yourself. As I introduced this RC in 0.5.1-5.1, I fixed it in 0.5.1-5.2. Unfortunately I did not get any response from you asking for NMU's for forg and gnupginterface. Matthias
