Sure, I've just canceled the NMU.

Well, that's exactly what Sebastian did in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739460#44, without 
visible response.

So what are your plans regarding #739460?

FYI, in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739079#82, 
proposed a timeline that allows 0-days NMUs for bugs like #739460 
starting from tomorrow.

Thanks for responding and keeping the bugs with up-to-date information.
