Why did us not respond to this bug for four months? Why is there an open NMU bug against Ceph? Why is the team not listed as maintainer? Sorry, but random teams do not help if the effort does not end up in Debian. Anyway, I need something by september, 21th. So please feel contacted.

Btw, Ceph was not part of Wheezy. Do you mean Jessie? A look at http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/ceph.html shows that it was part of wheezy but was removed after the freeze: [2012-09-30] ceph REMOVED from testing (Britney) If you don't intend to actually maintain ceph, please orphan the package.

Packaging efforts that happen entirely outside the unstable/testing distribution like this are pretty much useless for Debian. After all, there are reverse dependencies that would benefit from being able to use some of the provided libraries: The QEMU maintainer, for instance, removed ceph support a year ago because that ceph package was not usable then: qemu (1.1.2+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low [...] * do not build-depend on ceph (librbd-dev librados-dev), since ceph is having longstanding issues in wheezy. [...] -- Michael Tokarev m...@tls.msk.ru Sun, 09 Sep 2012 18:52:57 +0400 If you consider your 8-week-old package (0.61.7-1) to be even remotely fit for unstable, please upload.
