the subject says "in git"... 

$ rmadison sugar
     sugar |   0.81.4-1 |       testing | source, all
     sugar |   0.82.8-3 |      unstable | source, all

In git for which version did you fix it?

New upstream versions are (normally) not accepted during a freeze, and we are 
in a freeze.

To fix those issues for the version in lenny, 0.81 packages need to be 
uploaded to testing-proposed-updates (and not to unstable, like normal 
uploads). For this, you need preapproval from the release team, which you 
will only get if a.) the upload fixes stuff which is really wanted to have in 
lenny (this is usually determined with a bug, currently only one such bug 
(this) is filed against sugar, but not against the other activities) and b.) 
when you asked for it showing the full diff.

Thats why I suggested to clone this bug several times and reassign these 
clones to the various activity packages...



regards,
	Holger

P.S.: I'm subscribed to the sugar packages and to the debian-olpc list, not 
being cc:ed makes me smile. 

I'm also a @debian.org and can upload :)
