Hi,

I'd appreciate if you could go ahead and push the xz strategies patch
for dpkg-deb to unstable. The conversion of d-i udebs to xz
compression blocks on this and should better not be delayed further.
The other components are ready / will be patched as soon as an updated
dpkg hits the archive.

Thanks
Philipp Kern

Since Guillem announced that 1.16.2 should be uploaded to sid shortly, I
did not bother replying. It seems to take a bit longer than announced but
hopefully it's a matter of a few days at most now.

It's a matter of a few days for weeks already. I don't hold my breath. We'll
have an installer release without it, I guess.

Kind regards,
