I do not have time to waste to go through whatever manual steps a maintainer documents somewhere, when the package builds and passes all automated tests it is good enough for me. Manual testing you want to do when doing your maintainer uploads cannot be imposed on other people who are just trying to keep your package (and its many rdeps) in testing. The reason why I looked at kodi today is that some packages that added kodi support packages recently (genesisplusgx, libretro-beetle-psx) are about to be autoremoved because this made them non-migratable. The bad fix would be removing kodi support there again. The proper fix is to get kodi back into testing ASAP. The maintainer of genesisplusgx and libretro-beetle-psx is Sébastien Noel, who 2 months ago (!) invested time in fixing kodi for making these packages migratable. > Vasyl cu Adrian
