At this point in time (=close to the lenny freeze), certainly. Though I have to remark, that going through NEW is really not a blocker anymore, especially for packages which just introduce new binary packages or due to package renames. Even at this point in time. The ttf-sil-andika-basic package could provide ttf-sil-andika, so that there is an upgrade path. But I'd really suggest to do this, if at all, past the lenny release. > yes, the upstream orig tarball is constructed from the zip and isn't > published on the upstream page at this point.

Ok. One other thing: the font name within the package has actually changed, isnt that a problem for all the packages using the font directly? A quick look with "apt-cache rdepends ttf-sil-andika" only revealed tuxmath and tuxtype (both maintained by me, so I can+will handle that :) - but "apt-cache rdepends" does have its problems.. so maybe it would be good to announce this change somewhere? Will take a break to eat now and then upload the package as it is :) regards, Holger
