Special case is current testing (i.e. squueze), for which the overrides are always kept the same as sid. I assume the proposed changes would only affect sid + squeeze, not sarge and lenny. So you probably do have to worry about lennynhalf as that will introduce new packages which should go in the current sections. So either they will need to have the correct "old" sections in the control file, or the FTP masters will have to correct them in the overrides file for lenny during NEW processing. For existing packages that are uploaded to stable (p-u) with a wrong section by accident there is no problem as the existing overrides for lenny would correct that automatically. Cheers, FJP /me hopes he's got all that right :-) [1] See: merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/scripts/override
