Excellent! Yes, please just add yourself to uploaders and add the
DM-Upload-Allowed field. I'll do the next upload and then you can do the
next ones.

Btw if you are at it, please also have a look at the master.unstripped
branch. I think it just needs merging from the master branch but from
what I've read from your other mails, you are interested in the
unstripped packages and they should be built from there. Fabian and I
discussed a few days ago a script for the 'ffmpeg' package that uses
git-buildpackage to build the unstripped package from the
master.unstripped branch. What do you think about that idea?

This weekend I'm pretty busy with family visits, but I'll check the
two package branches next week at latest.
