This is also my feeling.

Is "all relevant packages" team ones, or any udeb-producing package that
didn't have usrmerged udebs?

I've been ready to upload a usrmerged btrfs-progs udeb for ages, so I'll
go ahead and do that now.  My intent is to provide useful data on the udeb
usrmerge with changes that only affect a subset of our users--and the
overlap with the sid-using subset are those who are open to a documented
degree of risk.

The annual Python breakage begins next month, if I remember correctly,
and my thinking is it's nice to stagger the introduction of the things that
could break Debian, so before the 14th of November seems like a good
time to me since it gives two weeks to unbreak or revert if undocumented
gremlins are discovered.

But it's also the case that Cyril would probably like to review
pre-upload, I don't want to pressure, and I hope the results of my
experiment will demonstrate the changes are low risk.


Cheers,
Nicholas
