Re: Bug#1130525 -- seeking more time for pat dependency fix, in process

Hi Federico,

I would suggest to include the upstream patch and make a new upload as
it may helps you and others to test and see if it works or any new
issue that you may report to upstream.

You can also send email to go mailing to request review MR and sponsor
upload as usual.

Best regards,

-Andrew
