Out of interest: How is the following problem handled?
At the time when the part of testing where package abc belongs to:
unstable:
Package: abc
Version: 3
testing:
Package: abc
Version: 1
- Version 2 of abc fixed a RC bug.
- Version 3 of the package didn't make it into testing because it has
e.g. a dependency on a more recent version of a library that didn't make
it into testing.
- The maintainer of abc is perhaps busy/MIA/...
If this problem isn't handled we'll release with __known and fixed__ RC
bugs in our packages.
