I'm not sure I understand you correctly. FWIW, your explanation doesn't
make sense to me. I think what you are saying is that you assigned to
me to trigger a mail to the sponsors ml to document the status there.
Please correct if that's incorrect.

So far, so good. I still don't understand why you then set to
incomplete. Only reasonable explanation I can find is that you are
bugging the assigned dev (me in this case) which is a no-no and you
should know that, having much larger powers than me.

Thanks.

As far as the lucid and karmic SRU are concerned, you are right about
the version number. I thought about the possible conflict, but could
not remember the correct solution and eventually settled on "as long as
it's not the same release pocket, it seems to be/must be OK".

FWIW, the current system in Ubuntu is flawed. Instead of mixing SRU
releases as 2.0-2.1, 2.0-2ubuntu0.5.04.1 and 2.0-2ubuntu0.5.10.1 we
should just do what debian does in that case and ALWAYS upload SRU as
2.0-2karmic1 and 2.0-2lucid1 (IMVHO). Not sure where that suggestion
would need to be raised.
