The point is not to paralyze Debian development, but you should never upload to unstable a package that you *know* is broken. Uploading to unstable means “this should be good enough for a stable release, but it hasn’t been tested against the rest of the distribution”. We usually don’t upload upstream development releases to unstable, yet I don’t see this as “paralyzing Debian development”. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette : :' : `. `' `-
