"In principle" I think we are always in favour of uploading and not
second-guessing upstream.  There may always be exceptions but I don't see if
we really need them for these tiny packages.

| Thanks for the reminder

Pleasure. I think I missed one more further down your QA aggregation page.
Could you check, and/or let uscan do it for you?

Thanks, Dirk
