Hi Zixing,

Please refer to the Developers Reference[1] regarding NMU and other updates types.

I would inclined to remove this upload until it has been through proper process.

Hi Zixing,

As I can see from the bugs-dist list. You are in contact with the maintainer, so at minimum please could you toggle "Needs a sponsor" to "No".
