What I find ridiculous is that the *only* reason that the release team
scrutinizes this, is that the upstream single-source project has been
artificially split into multiple Debian source package for one reason
only: To ease concurrent migrations of other large packaging projects
like Perl and Python3.

Without that artifical split, this new upstream bugfix-only release of
uwsgi would have involved zero package dependencies flagged as warning
signs for the release team, and also (unless I am mistaken and uwsgi for
some reason is a core or essential package now) the release team would
not even be bothered about the change because the package was uploaded
before the freeze of regular packages.

The uwsgi seemingly has wasted a lot of time in restructuring the
package, only to effectively bothering the release team more (not less)
and get punished for an update that from the outside would have been
business as usual.

 :-(
