I'm the Debian maintained. This will be going to unstable; I an merely waiting for the release managers' permission to upload since gdal and dolfin depend on armadillo.

Both gdal and dolfin require a binNMU, that's all. But the release team is backed up, so I am waiting for their go ahead. This shouldn't be viewed as a reason for armadillo to be considered "less stable"; the experimental upload was to clear the NEW queue.
