Hi Abou,

I agree, its not worth an unblock just for this.
Would be wasting the Release Team's time.
I was thinking for the next upload, whenever.

Cheers,

P.S.
Regarding the warnings

W: fpc source: dh-exec-script-without-dh-exec-features [debian/fp-utils.install]
W: fpc source: patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series [debian/patches/fix_powerpc_ftbfs_with_new_glibc.patch]
W: fpc source: patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series [debian/patches/mipsel.patch]

The exec script warning can be fixed by taking out the shebang (as per the comment therein).
mipsel.patch is a duplicate and can be dropped.
fix_powerpc_ftbfs can probably be dropped as it is building OK there now without it.
