0.9.9.8.6-2 is in maverick and built (I just binNEWed it).

John, we cannot copy 0.9.9.8.6-2 from maverick to lucid-proposed, since the package was built with the maverick toolchain. Likewise we cannot do a source-only copy since you can only ever (successfully) build binaries for a given package version once. (You can't have two different debs with the exact same filename).

What we could have done is to sync the package into lucid-proposed, let it build there, and then copy source and binaries from lucid-proposed to maverick (we do this all the time with SRUs these days). Now this needs a proper upload to lucid-proposed with a lower version.
