Dear owncloud-client maintainers, owncloud-client is scheduled for removal from testing on 2016-12-21, because #844937 is not yet fixed in testing. And since packages will not be allowed to enter back testing after 2017-01-06, there is a significant risk that owncloud-client will not be part of stretch, which would be a disservice to our users.
The problem is that version 2.2.4+dfsg-2 (which has #844937 corrected) failed to compile on mips* archs, and therefore cannot migrate to testing. The root cause of this FTBFS is a nasty bug in binutils (#844227 and its clones), so it is largely out of your control. In order to avoid the removal of owncloud-client from testing, I suggest to request the removal of owncloud-client binaries on mips arches *in unstable* (hoping that ftpmasters will deal quickly enough with the removal request). At least, that would allow non-mips users to benefit from an owncloud-client package in stretch. Are you ok with this solution? If yes, I can do the removal request if you are too busy to do so.
