Hi Benjamin, Thank you for your reply and good work! Don't worry: I won't break protocol in terms of the freeze. For now I focus on the testing / unstable version that you commited for a backports basis. Regards, Kees On 10-04-2021 15:09, Benjamin Drung wrote:

Over the weekend I'll try to further prepare a .dsc that gets through lintian.
Formally only packages (and versions) in testing are allowed in Backports. That is: 2.0.7-4.1 and not 2.0.8. You can still upload 2.0.8 in unstable. Add autopkgtest to be allowed to migrate. The hard freeze has not been announced yet. Maybe upstream can tell us if they would prefer a 2.0.7 or a 2.0.8 to be in Debian for 3 to 5 years. Please don't upload 2.0.8 to unstable at this point. Debian is in hard freeze. Only small, targeted fixes should be uploaded to unstable now. See https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html
You can prepare the new version and upload to experimental if you want.
