yes, /me has thought/thinks so, too.

yes. I know the version numbers are lower than in squeeze, so harm is done to
running systems but a lot of bandwith and space on mirrors is wasted.
So back to question one:
Why are there a lot of packages in s-p-u that are clearly meant to be in o-p-u?
Should i ask on debian-release? I couldn't find a list for ftp-master in the
first place when i search earlier today.
