Adopting a package counts as a regular maintainer upload -- and technically it is, as you become the new maintainer. As such, no special procedure is required. Thus, you may file a regular RFS by providing the new version. On the other hand, this package is a part of stretch, and we're in deep freeze. This means, unless you're fixing RC or at least important bugs only (and especially for the latter, with a Release Team preapproval), uploading to unstable is a bad idea. Thus, I'd recommend using experimental for now. > What to do next, provide a debdiff as a start? Debdiffs are needed for NMUs and/or stable uploads only. For regular sponsoring, typing "apt source xpdf && debdiff xpdf_*.dsc|colordiff|less -R" is less work for both sides :) -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Meow! ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ Collisions shmolisions, let's see them find a collision or second ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ preimage for double rot13!
