I’m CCing Andreas Metzler, though he problably read your mail via -release or something: he managed to file ITP #524569 roughly an hour before you filed #524578, but since he said “I am not stuck on maintaining this myself”, he’ll hopefully not mind you having prepared and uploaded your own as well. > I chose to package pqiv without "Conflicts/Provides/Replaces qiv".
