The meaning was "three consecutive uploads that fix bug reports whose fixes are already in the BTS and maintainer did not respond". Note that "no action from [...] maintainer" doesn't only mean an upload, just one e-mail of acknowledgement (or even notice on IRC) to the NMUer or the -qa list is enough. BTW personally, I think uploading a maintainer release just to acknowledge a NMU is an utterly stupid waste of bandwidth. Of course, that's just MHO. -- enJoy -*/\*- http://jagor.srce.hr/~jrodin/
