Sad. I wonder whether our upstream URLs are correct.There areway too
many fonts we maintain for any human to be able to watch each and
every manually.

(also, several of our upstreams have very jerky "sites" for their distribution)

Our SVN layout is probably not perfect.

I suggest you just go ahead with the NMU or do a regular upload adding
yourself as uploader (you're a team member, aren't you? :-)). Then,
we'll catchup with SVN commit afterwards.
