Hi, Thanks for looking into fixing #705690! You have filed a bug against release.debian.org, but it is not clear to me why - you ask nothing of us directly, so I can only guess your intentions. If you are worried about the removal of libuser + mock, then the timer has been reset with your message for #705690 (comment #12). In other words, as long as you provide regular status updates to the bug, the auto-removal will back off. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
