debian-faq (10.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Team upload.
* Disable BYHAND processing to allow migration to testing.
The package needs a binary upload for BYHAND processing,
but this disables the migration to testing, because
a source-only upload is required. Therefore, this is
an upload with only the BYHAND rules removed, no other
changes have been made. The content is therefore
identical to the documents available from the archive
mirrors.
