Guys that kind of rejection is not helpful and fairly demotivating. :( 

Did we ever reject for swapping "~ds" for "+dfsg"? Seriously?
It is fully justified because it is both types of repackaging. Non-free files 
are dropped from "ui". I even left a note about it in "TODO.Debian" as well 
as reported upstream bug. Like if I don't know what am I doing... :( :(

As for adding myself to Uploaders it was deliberate choice. For heavens sake 
it is a team maintained package and our recent policy update grant more 
powers to the team. I do not want to be in uploaders of this package (yet).
(I only planned to do two uploads -- this one and new upstream version that 
needs two more dependencies to go through NEW).

Tianon, all changes in repository were committed for your review prior to 
upload. Before requesting REJECT couldn't you have a look at the changes 
first? Now you upload please, I wash my hands...

I did not expect my changes to cause that much controversy. Nothing 
extraordinary have been done.

Not a lack of belief, but adherence to false knowledge is the enemy of
progress. And certain that we have found everything worth searching for,
we see no point in further search and inquiry. Believing what is
unworthy of belief, believing falsehood as if it were incontrovertible
truth, and sure that we know everything we will ever need to know, we
are worse than ignorant.
