Unless you've found hundreds of cases, it's very much ok to do package
duplication for these few cases where we need 2 different source
packages, and only for the next following months that we have before the
freeze.

How many cases are we talking about? Not even a full dozen?

If you can't handle the workload, it's also ok to ask for help, but that
doesn't seem to be your way. I'm kind of disappointed to see no answer
to #902631 from you in this regard, leaving the bug open for nearly 3
months now. Could you at least let Nicolas do the upload?

Cheers,
