That approach looks very fine to me, thanks.

Looks good to me.

I totally understand how testing can be difficult until packages reach
the archive, feel free to “upload early, upload often”.

It looks like the 64-bit time_t transition is getting better (at least
from afar) but I don't have any immediate plans for a release at the
moment, so it's perfectly fine to have glitches/temporary regressions
following the introduction of this feature/new packages along the way.


Cheers,
