probably.

I'm also puzzled there was no reply to 
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-August/007364.html

:-)

I'm a bit surprised that the TBB team is not aware of the TBL team/needs and 
now only learn about this via the Debian package maintainers of TBL.... I 
basically thought TBL was part of TBB.

Also, I have cc:ed the people signing the releases in a mail to #756194 but as 
the above referenced mail to the tor-dev list didn't get a reply.

Where can I learn more about this upcoming upgrade system?
