Re: Debian Bug#20445 disagree
OK, I have no problem with taking my packages that depend on a development
kernel, i.e. 2.1.x, out of Hamm and place them in unstable. However,

maintainers in the same situtation must do the same thing with their packages.
Of course, consensus must be reached first, I think.
