Hi Christoph,

I've now rejected ntirpc/6.3-4 from BACKPORTS-NEW three times in a row for the same reason:

Would you please mind to explain why uploading the very same version a fourth time before 6.3-4 migrated to testing would be acceptable? Why do you believe the rules outlined on <https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/>, namely:
> Backports tracks testing and only package versions included in testing are allowed in it, subject to a few expedient exceptions.
... do not apply to this upload?

Best regards,
Micha
