Hi Andreas,

This opposition of yours was more than one year ago:

… and this new proposal was more than six months ago:

As mgetty got removed from testing some days ago along with some of its 
reverse-dependencies, this has become more important now.

I will therefore upload a new 1.1.36-1.7 with the fixes for both #719501 
and #689899 to DELAYED/5 (although devref §5.11.1 would allow a direct 
upload).

Cheers,
OdyX
