hi,

I see a bit of a discrepancy between the original request (which, judging b=
y the
link to [email protected], seems to be mostly about technica=
l
details) and the ensued discussion (which is mostly about NMU/coordination
norms).

Lucas, what exactly did you have in mind when you filed this bug? is there
anything in gannef's email that's not captured in dput/dcut manpages and co=
nfig
defaults that you think would be useful to include in devref?

on coordination norms: section 5.13.1 ("When and how to do an NMU") seems t=
o
cover all aspects discussed in this bug (e.g. report a bug to BTS, use DELA=
YED)
with the only exception being an explicit statement that it's okay to file =
a bug
with a patch (or MR) and _at the same time_ upload to DELAYED so that one c=
an
fire and forget -- which does seem like a worthwhile addition.

thanks,
serafi
