I admit I'm not happy about the BTS feature which moves "Forwarded bugs
-- Serious" below "Outstanding bugs -- Wishlist items".  I would prefer
if these would stay on top of the bugs page.  Since I forget this all
the time I was stumbling about this quite late in our bug squashing
effort.  So I most probably over reacted yesterday a bit without diving
more into the details of the issue.

I should explicitly say "also cme formating changes". ;-)

That's OK.  We will manage to get several new packages into Stretch and
others are just missing.  Backports will help users until Stretch+1. :-)
 
Kind regards
