Thanks for the interesting discussion. It's good to know that I may have 
misunderstood the policy!

Anyway, for the benefit of any potential sponsors of this RC NMU RFS, 
I'd just like to summarise what is in my proposed upload and why:

   1. calcurse includes a decent test suite

   2. one of these tests reads an iCal file which specifies a timezone in
      short form ("CET").

   3. since the short codes got split into the 'tzdata-legacy' package the
      existing build (and runtime) dependencies are no longer sufficient for
      this test to succeed.

   4. therefore I have modified a B-D so that this nice package can feature
      in trixie.

   5. I also added a Recommends to avoid people upgrading from Bookworm
      suffering a silent regression.

It is possible that the authors are "wrong" and the application should 
accept the long form instead of the short form. I don't think that would 
be a matter for this NMU although one could dispute the Recommends.

Thanks!
