I am very sorry about that and I promise that I will be more careful in 
the future. I initially uploaded this NMU to the delayed queue, to 
satisfy the NMU policy. But then I thought a second time[1], and due to 
the package being already NMU'ed by him I thought he knows what he does. 
(The previous NMU was also related to the GNUstep transition.) I.e. I 
thought that's a simple transition problem where the dependencies need 
to be adjusted, which I did not want to delay.

So I wanted to speed up a transition without looking it up properly and 
ignored the NMU rules... Oh well... I could only repeat that I am sorry.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
