well 1.2.19 came a bit early, because 1.2.18 had no chance to migrate
for sarge and beside this was tested by mr. nobody.
never the less the change not to run as root was basicaly quite important.

we shouldn't focus on a features driven release,
a time based approach would be perfect:
day x) 		version 1.2.y enters unstable
from day x to day x + 5) 	disruptible changes need to go in
day x + 5 until version 1.2.y enters sarge) 	minor tweaking + testing 
perhaps accompanied by an upload to experimental or alioth?
1.2.y+1 ready for unstable
(and so on).

from my side I prefer to take up whatever seems appropriate.
when logcheck's permission are finally well set,
i'd love to focus on what _has_ to go in sarge namely good rules.


do not hesitate do jump in!
was nice to see the important patch you picked done.
