Ok, how about making sure that there are no package dependancy
errors in the resulting update. (ie apt-get check?)
The problem at the moment is that slink on ftp.d.o currently
has a dependancy error with the packages w3-el* because
emacs20 was updated, and not the w3-el packages.
I understand that one does not want to update the stable tree
without documenting the changes, but the current errors
in 2.1r5 are procluding the creation of .iso's because of this
dependancy problem.
(Critical bug:#62169: ftp.debian.org 2.1r5/6 issues: w3-el,
security and ChangeLog; 9 days old ) I also reported the
problem in a private email on 3-13 .
Just my 2cents...
