Hello Daniel,

I should be able to do an upload tomorrow in the evening (CEST) unless
you beat me to it. Whatever works for you.

debian/unstable can (and should be) fast-forwarded to
tmp-ametzler-v2.2.  I think we need a separate upstream branch,
"upstream" is 2.4. So tmp-ametzler-upstream-2.2 needs to be renamed
("upstream-2.2"?) and debian/unstable's debian/gbp.conf needs to be told
about it.

The current situation indeed is cause for heavy sighing.

On a sidenote: How about switching off the Subject mangling on this list?
