Apologies for none of us having spotted this earlier, but:

+xkeyboard-config (2.19-1.1+deb9u1) stretch; urgency=medium

Unstable and testing currently have 2.19-1.1, which means that the
upload for stable needs to be either 2.19-1+deb9u1 or 2.19-1.1~deb9u1,
in order to have a lower version.

I've flagged the existing upload for rejection. Please feel free to re-
upload with a fixed version number.

Regards,

Adam

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for clarifying. I was hoping for
stretch-updates, but I'll have to live with a point release. In that
case, I understand the delay.

There appears to be some confusion here.

stretch/updates is in the security archive and therefore irrelevant to
this discussion.

Before the point release, your upload will be in proposed-updates.
Packages in proposed-updates are available once a member of the Release
Team has accepted them from the stable-new queue. That still requires
users consuming proposed-updates, which most don't.

Finally, stretch-updates is a special distribution which the Release
Team can push packages from proposed-updates to under some
circumstances. That still requires the package to have been accepted
into proposed-updates first as per the above, and I'm not convinced that
this upload would meet the criteria for such a release.

Adam

You seem to be confused:
 - stretch/updates is a security suite.
 - stretch-proposed-updates is what this stretch-pu request is about;
   the package is available in this extra suite which users may have
   configured, then merged during point releases into stretch.
 - stretch-updates is for immediate bug fixes, through an extra suite as
   well, even if it's more likely to be configured on user systems.

I haven't seen anything in the bug report that indicates you were
requesting that your package goes to stretch-updates as opposed to the
default stretch-proposed-updates, so your claim above seems rather
incorrect to me.

But it is blocking everyone, as it can't go into updates without your
ack. Packages in stretch/updates are available immediately to users once
it enters the archive.

Great thing that point releases usually happen once every 3 months, right?

Anyway: right now, D-I Buster Alpha 1 has the priority; point release
material can definitely wait.

This looks okay to me, other than this noise in the diff:

--- xkeyboard-config-2.19.orig/debian/files
+++ xkeyboard-config-2.19/debian/files
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+xkeyboard-config_2.19-1.1_source.buildinfo x11 extra

As the package produces a udeb, this will need an ack from the d-i RM as
well; CCing appropriately.
