Point fully taken. Thanks. 

So I think that we are almost done with the maintenance of minetest
for a while. Here are the remaining tasks that I see:
 - You ask for the unblock
 - I upload your init scripts for Jessie+1 once they are ready in the
   git (please ping me when they are complete/ready for review -- I'm
   ok with uploading several versions with several points of
   completion, if you don't have the time for systemd scripts right away)
 - we close some of the ubuntu bugs if possible
 
Many thanks for your time. Team maintainance is always such a pleasure.

Bye, Mt.
