Because britney isn't supposed to care which packages are out-of-date due to removals from the source package, vs. missing builds. The ftp team needs to take care of the out-of-date packages before britney will consider it. And since kernel-image-2.4.27-riscpc and kernel-image-2.4.27-riscstation are still listed in debian/control, rene has no way of knowing these packages are gone, so the ftp team won't pick this up. Please reupload with -riscpc and -riscstation removed from the control file. Given arm's current release status, -4 *will* be accepted into testing as-is, but even if the ftp team manually removes these packages from unstable they'll still be stuck in testing until the next sourceful update of kernel-image-2.4.27-arm. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
