For the packages in the salsa section debian DDs have the right to make changes even against the intention of the maintainers and then upload them without following the NMU rules.

I see "Forwarded: not > needed" on patches that should be forwarded IMO. > The patches are not numbered according to the order in which they are processed, but according to groups such as build system, source, CVE and Debian specific patches. Normally I forward almost all patches. After lintian complained about the missing entry forwarded as a warning, I added not-needed for old patches. After moving sane to GitLab I don't have direct access to the old bug reports anymore. > Looking at your history on this package, have you considered asking > for the Debian Maintainer status so that you can upload that package > on your own? I am missing the second signing of my key by a DD. I live here near the oldest city in Germany, but for Debian far away from everything. > > Cheers, > Have a nice weekend.
