Sounds as if this will become a close one. Some more details on the timeline: Debian's freeze for new upstream releases for the next Stable release is on 5th of January 2017. This means that I need to upload 5.3 to Debian Unstable latest on 24th of December to have chance to get it transitioned from "Unstable" to "Testing" before 5th of January. Details on the timeline at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/11/msg00002.html This though only works if there's no so called release-critical bug found in the package (which would prevent the transitioning), hence the earlier, the better, so that potential bugs can be fixed in time before Christmas. If I can upload 5.3 only just in time on Christmas eve, the transition will become a little bit like a lottery.
