This upload was rejected due to a lintian error that existed in the
source package before I added the patch.  Since NMUs are supposed to
be very targeted, the rejection puts us in an odd place.  Will the
upload to experimental [1] find its way into unstable before the
freeze, or should I try again with 12.2.32?
