Yes.
Also, your NMU attempt was about a RC bug you filed yourself (and recently
before). I think the "wait longer to give maintainers time to reply" part was
covered well in this thread, but not the part "because you filed that bug"
part.
It's one thing, to file a bug correctly. And it's another, to find the right
fix. You provided both (nothing wrong with that alone!) and then asked for
sponsoring the upload immediatly.
Thats not good.
cheers,
Holger, who wanted to do the same a few days ago (#602765) and was
quickly
convinced (on irc, not in the bug log) that was a bad idea. Today I'll NMU
though.
