Umm... Why -2? I thought that the whole point was to avoid uploading
another revision of a package that is not yet in Debian.

So... why is it here then?

What NMU? How is this upload different from a normal sponsored upload?

This one never entered 'unstable', as far as I know...

I do not want to sound paranoid, but this just feels wrong. Is it not
possible to reupload a normal -1 revision with a clean changelog? Or
does being in NEW count as being in Debian already?

It may be that I am simply thinking too much, but I suggest requesting
FTP masters to reject the package. I am more concerned about doing it
right than about pushing the package into Debian as soon as possible.
