Dear all,

I’m the uploader of the gnss-sdr package, and I’m a little confused: what’s the 
best way to proceed from here? Should I submit a 0.0.9-5 version to unstable 
closing this bug in the Changelog, or I should omit it since it was closed in a 
previous version in experimental?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Carles
