Argh!  I personally keep on preaching that people keep UNRELEASED in the
package changelog when a package is not released.  Its simply to error
prone that people check `git tag` (which might have been also a
forgotten tag) or the package pool.  I *definitely* try to avoid not
released versions and I can confirm I prevented such things in similar
cases - but obviously I failed here.

I think there is no real harm, yes.

I asked ftpmaster for rejection since I consider it more clean to
get the bugs closed properly by an upload.

Thanks a lot for watching this closely
