Comments

The maintainer designates his packages as 'LowNMU' but requests that they be uploaded with dgit(1) therefore if sponsoring this NMU, please follow dgit-sponsorship(7) using commit https://salsa.debian.org/abower/opensysusers/-/commit/aaee9c857ab00a7ec751a62d028379dfd51f13f5 with 'dgit --gbp push' and fast-forward merge the packaging VCS to that commit. Thanks!

I'm planning to raise an RFS later but maintainer supports this action so if anyone gets a chance to sponsor beforehand I'd be grateful - an affected package (pcscd now has an initscript using the new user) has just been uploaded. Thanks!
