There's really no need to cc the list for a package that is not part of
the Cygwin distribution.  Taking this up with the owner at the prescribed
site is the recommended course of action.

This is expected on Windows given that cyg-apt uses Cygwin's

necessary to run apt-get will not be upgradeable with the
normal cyg-apt mechanism.  There's no good way around this.
