I do feel it is not quite in the spirit of the freeze-policy. Though having reviewed the concrete upstream changes, commit-by-commit, I would be willing to accept those (upstream) changes for Jessie. That said, my approval assumes there will be no changes on the debian side (beyond dropping patches applied upstream and a changelog entry). If there are other changes to debian/, they will need to be approved separately. Thanks, ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
