mgetty* got bitten by an old [pre-pool] dinstall bug, where uploads
without "unstable" in the changelog disappear from unstable:
mgetty (1.1.21-3) stable; urgency=low
* make mgetty-fax's postinst create /var/spool/fax/outgoing/.last_run
to close a potential symlink exploit by members of the fax group
that is otherwise possible until that file is created
