Brian, will you please consider to do a ftp.debian.org bug hunting *before*
doing any deep freeze?

Some bugs reported two months ago have not been fixed yet. This means that
either:

* They are difficult to fix (unlikely).
* There are not enough ftp.debian.org maintainers (I don't know).
* The release manager does not care about ftp.debian.org bugs (I hope not).
* Some other reason (Which one?).

Could somebody explain me, why, oh why, do we have to wait more than two
months for trivial ftp.debian.org bugs to be fixed?

Thanks.
