Re: Porting Iceweasel 10.0.8 ESR to the Stable Backports.
Hi, sorry for a doubling messages, but I would like to ask one more
question. I know, that the packages backported to the stable-backports,
can not have a different version from that available in Wheezy and
that is okay. If Wheezy provides version 10.0.7esr-2, Squeeze also
will have such versions in stable-backports, right?
On October 13, again a security issues were identified and fixed. [1]
Now an updated version is 10.0.9 (available e.g. in Sid). What about
the updates for Wheezy and stable-backports? (both still have 10.0.7).
I know, that the package update has to wait, due to the 'testing migration'.
But, because of safety/security etc., updates should not be done faster?
Looking over this mailing list I found an interesting conversation, which
I would like to show:

Unfortunately, I do not have a source of this conversation, but for sure,
it took place on this list. So, there is not a need for stable-backports, to
wait for Wheezy? Do I understand it?
Let's going back to my first paragraph, once again. Conclusion were that:
packages backported to stable-backports can not have a different version
from that available, in the same time, in Wheezy. Okay, I understand this.
So how is it really?
