I am not yet in the DM keyring. Once I get my package gambc uploaded, I will apply. Also, remind has never been uploaded with the DM-Upload-Allowed field set, http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/remind.html so even if I was in the keyring I would not be able to upload it. Yes, it's in the previous version changelog, but either my sponsor removed the field without mentioning it, or his tools at the time couldn't yet handle DM-U-A and it never made it to .dsc. That's when I switched back to XS-DM-U-A :-) I'm not aware of a policy which requires being in the DM keyring before setting the DM-U-A field. Sponsors are free to remove it, of course, if they're not ready to grant the privilege. That seems to be the simplest way and most efficient way to handle a DM-U-A request. More guidance here from the DDs on the list would be appreciated! Here are some additional comments. - A lot of the files list David F.

It's still Lintian clean. I will address these two issues at the next upload, which will probably be when we get a new upstream release.

That's when I switched back to XS-DM-U-A :-) Currently that counts as a diff between your new 03.01.05-1 package and Debian version 03.01.04-1. Here is an important principle of Debian packaging (especially needs checking when your packages are being sponsored). The current version of the Debian package is what is in the archive --- *not* the version that is on your disk. (I've been bitten by this at least once!) So it is best if you do an apt-get source -t unstable remind in order to check the differences between the earlier version and the new one. I would upload it with DM-U-A set as it is in 03.01.04-1. David F. Skoll is the owner of Roaring Penguin, which holds the remind copyright. The exceptions are for code which is not (entirely) his own.
