Hey Didier,

Thanks for the update, it's useful.

I understand that things aren't releasing into saucy at the minute, but
into the "next" PPA instead. Is that right? Do you know when it might be
re-enabled and what the blockers are?

Hmm, it was my understanding that we were going to do this (at least
where possible, in preference to individual commits) at the merge
proposal level instead — these usually have a commit message attached to
them and describe changes at a more coarse-grained level than the
individual commit in a manner which, to me at least, is more suitable
for the Debian changelog. I also then don't have to think about the fact
that every commit will end up in d/changelog.

Anyway I can totally understand that you probably don't want to revisit
all of this again, so let me end by saying that this is a big
improvement on what we had before and I think it'll make me a happier
reviewer and consumer. We can revisit the MP thing in time, if
necessary.

Cheers,
