I also prefer upload of security fixed 9.1 to unstable, with urgency=high.
We should wait with 9.2 upload into unstable also a few days after
migration of kernel 9.1 into testing. It leave us a window for catching 
more 9.1 kernel bugs (spotted by users of testing) and allow fixing
them via upload into unstable.

Ideally whole set [1] of 9.1 based packages should migrate into testing 
before upload of a corresponding 9.2 package into sid.
Especially lag of ufsutils (still 8.2) worries me.
