But lenny isn't broken since current lenny version of e2fsprogs is
still using 128 bytes as inode size.
otavio@merkel:~$ dak ls e2fsprogs|grep testing
e2fsprogs | 1.40.2-1+lenny1 | testing-proposed-updates | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
e2fsprogs | 1.40.3-1 | testing | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
So weekly builds can still be build without problems.
But I agree that it could be hinted for fast migration. This helps to
get widly testing of it before we are too near of releasing.
