Uhm, I'm not persuaded that the sid version is required before uploading for
stable, I didn't do that for the previous update in stable. What it is required is
a testing evidence, i.e. it does not create other problems and it works to
solve the issue. Do you have pointers about that requirement?

Even, I'm not sure you will need to do a source upload, because
the upstream version is already loaded in the separate archive at the time
of my first point update.
