True, but then we lack a staging area for newer 6.0 packaging, which I
am sure the release team won't like (and I don't like it myself!).
...as I wrote right above :-P
What I mean by "staging area" is a repository where our packaging is
exposed to others that might spot flaws in our packaging. Unstable acts
as a 10-day staging area for testing, with a lot of Debian developers as
users. proposed-updates is less of a staging area in the regards of
spotting errors, as it has much fewer users - relying mostly on the
release team to (double-)check for flaws.
But sure - we can try leave it as-is first. Will you get in touch with
the release team about using proposed-updates?
