I did not find any special trouble in the packaging, but if you can review the bug reports in the BTS, that would be great. > Consider using upstream git instead of tarballs as the source, for > better supply-chain auditability, although doing so requires a bit of > work (compare e.g., libntlm or libidn2 packaging for gnulib magic). Indeed, using git instead of tarballs adds a complexity which I consider undesired, so I'll keep the traditional tarballs for now. (Life is too short...) However, I've done the proper thing with the .sig file and the pgp keys, so I believe the supply-chain is in a good state. More to the point, you are not a "Mr. Unknown", you are a known person in the free software world, and I trust you :-) Thanks.
