well, it is hard indeed (if you want a new DD for every upload).

My point is: instead of setting DMUA flag, read documentation and try to make the package as good as you can *before* requesting an upload (it happened to me more than once that I stopped checking a package after realizing that mentoree didn't even read New Maintainers' Guide) -- http://people.debian.org/~piotr/sponsor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
