Comment 5 for bug 253868

Thanks for updating your debdiff. The next step is to add it to the sponsorship queue (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Sponsorship/SponsorsQueue). This will ensure that it gets uploaded to the repositories. To add it to the queue, you should set the status to 'Confirmed', and make sure that it is assigned to nobody. After doing that, you subscribe (not assign) 'ubuntu-universe-sponsors' for packages in universe/multiverse, and 'ubuntu-main-sponsors' for packages in main/restricted. Since apt is in main, you would subscribe 'ubuntu-main-sponsors' to this bug. Since it looks like you enjoy doing things for yourself, I will let you take care of adding this bug to the sponsorship queue yourself.
