[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#910493: Bug#910493: Bug#910493: Handle transition from MAT to MAT2

[Georg Faerber]

Hi all,

I've just uploaded 0.8.0-1 to unstable, which ships .epub support as
requested by some people and the patch to make the Nautilus extension
work. It should migrate on March 10 or the day after.

You're right, I've missed this, thanks for keeping track of it.

Sounds good -- in case you're too busy, I could also do it next week. I
think our chances that this gets accepted are pretty good.

I would also fill the RM bug against mat to get it removed;
@intrigeri / dkg: Could you give a short ACK on this?

Thanks,
