I do not understand very well the purpose of reuploading.  It is not a
problem at all to do it, it just surprised me that you ask for this,
so just want to clarify.

Do you want the "next upload" to be nowish, so it gets recompiled with
GCC-5 in all arches (seems that it wasn't, even if the new GCC had
been installed in all buildds), or can it be further down the road?

(We often only upload changes to this package every year or more
--last time was 2 years ago--, since this package has been dead
upstream for more than a decade and there are no active forks --I
asked recently--).


Cheers.
