Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package nexus

The package fixes #861736 in a patch provided by Gilles Filippini
(thanks for this Gilles).

I did another admittedly questionable change.  I moved the package to
Debian Science team (so some d/control information was changed) which is
probably fine even under freeze policy.  I also added a watch file to
make sure a signal is raised that there is also a new upstream version
so the package is definitely better than before (even if I admit that
I would have applied more changes outside freeze policy).

The questionable part is that I intentionally left out a human beeing as
Uploader.  To compensate this I'm CCing Debian Science team as well as
the contributors to this bug report who are known members of Debian
Science team.  I'm hereby explicitly asking you to consider adding your
name as Uploader in Git[1] to make sure we will add a responsible person
as soon as possible.  If it turns out that nobody else would volunteer I
would consider adding myself to follow policy - but I have a really bad
feeling to do so since I feel totally incompetent to maintain this
package and while beeing sure that I could do better than annonymous QA
member it will be far from what I consider "properly".

So thanks for considering to add yourself as Uploader.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
