Being one who has pushed in the past for trying to get slink targeted at
2.1.x and 2.2.x, I have to agree with Joseph here, its /WAY/ too late,
now, I am all for filing the severity important bugs against packages
which break with it, but the maintainer and release manager should have
every right to downgrade the bug to wishlist status..
(If its very easy to do without breaking freeze then great, if its not
then we fix it in potato and get slink stable with the kernel its
shipped with)

Yes, potato is without a doubt the space for the next step of big
upgrades, to the point that I'd even suggest that people who don't know
how to recover a majorly damaged system avoid it once we get started..
:/
(2.2.x kernels, glibc 2.1, perl -> perl5.005 (And yes, I am going to
push for the rename and sticking with the upstream design changes),
etc..)
