version in VCS is newer than in repository, is it time to upload? normal
vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 0.39, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:
commit c2c4e14eed47143b37976b424cb38ba93720ccf1

    Use crc32 for xz, unbreaking "stupid simple" mode
    
    Commit 65a7bbe switched the rootfs compression method, in both nested
    and "stupid simple" modes, from gzip to xz.
    
    However, xz's integrity check type defaults to crc64, but Linux (as of
    v6.1) is unable to unpack it, as it only supports none and crc32. This
    does not matter in the default, nested mode where the inner rootfs is
    unpacked by busybox, and the outer one (unpacked by Linux) is compressed
    with gzip. It does matter for the non-default stupid simple mode though,
    which simply does not work right now.
    
    Pass --check=crc32 to xz when packing the initramfs. As this should have
    a minimal impact and be inconsequential to the nested builds, do so
    unconditionally.

commit 21249b1a82c99661fa1ff69e82b411c4deba1407

    Ship /bin/unxz in the outer initramfs
    
    Commit 65a7bbe switched from gzip to xz for the nested initramfs. This
    included a change in the embedded shell script to call "unxz" to unpack
    rootfs.cxz. However, no unxz is to be found in $PATH, as an /bin/unxz
    (busybox symlink) was not shipped, unlike /bin/gunzip that was already
    there.
    
    As far as I understand it, this means that all builds have been broken
    since that commit. I'm unsure how this has escaped attention thus far.
