While the later does not make much sense it won't cause any harm either. Thanks for pushing that fix forward. Sven

See the discussion in bug #907020 [1] for all details. The short version is that in August 2018 Christian introduced new autopkgtest tests in 1.18-2 which didn't work due to lack of root access. #907020 was opened as a result and Christian made the fix during the same day in Salsa. However, for some reason, that fix was never uploaded. Last week the severity of #907020 was changed from normal to serious placing the package to the autoremoval queue. As I wasn't able to get in touch with Christian, I concluded that doing a NMU for the changes he had already made in Salsa would be the right thing to do. That's why the policy bump is to version 4.2.1 as I didn't want to mix in any of my own changes. I'm hoping that Christian would continue as maintainer of this package but he appears to be inactive right now and I haven't managed to get in contact via email or IRC.
