Seems like it's already pass.  I thought it was in two weeks time but
that's soft freeze.  Debian is already in transition freeze so large

I can still prepare the debian package for unstable.

Sure.  I can run 'dzil release' in bioperl-live from my computer, no
problem.  It only takes a few minutes.  Do I have the permissions in
PAUSE to do it?
