Last minute sync of a new Debian package

Dear Archive Admins,

I know you are extremely busy now but I was out of luck in the last
days:

1. our hardware accelerated multiphysics simulation library got too late
into Debian:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/asl
2. I missed the final freeze date in order to get it synced into Ubuntu
on time,
3. I started discussion about this issue in a wrong channel,
4. and now as I try to open a proper sync requested on Launchpad - it
refuses to send me verification email, so I can't proceed.

So I'm turning on you in this informal way asking to sync the package
before the final 15.10 release. It should work smoothly as indicated
here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2015-October/282768.html

This package is of enormous significance for the scientific/HPC user
community in general and for Ubuntu in particular, considering the fact
that it is a member of the OpenPower Foundation[1].

There is no risk to introduce a regression as the package is new and
nothing depends on it (yet).

Thank you in advance!
Zeev
