As you can see, I wrote my post at 12:03:28 UTC, and commit 8fcde2c at 
12:30:29 UTC.
I was tracking the Git activity for this package, and I would never have 
posted if it was already the case. :)

I'm sorry if my intention was misunderstood.
I know it can take time after a major upstream update. Simply, due to no 
sign of activity for v3.0.0 on staging/testing, I thought it had been 
forgotten.
I *really* appreciate work done by mainteners, and it was not a reproach.


Thank you Levente Polyak for the update.
