The last couple of Debian releases, there have been discussions (usually
too late) as to what happens when the new release comes out. Do the
backports cease for oldstable, to allow oldstable a clean upgrade path
to stable, or do backports continue for oldstable, so that oldstable
continues to get backports from testing? If I recall correctly, most
folks wanted a clean upgrade path to stable. Is that going to be the
case when squeeze is released?
