first of all let me say that I don't say that this problem isn't your
fault - your package isn't in any way frozen so it's perfectly OK for you
to upload new upstream versions.
Whether boot-floppies are built with python2.1-xml from unstable or from
testing makes only a few days difference. According to [1] the new
upstream version of python2.1-xml will enter testing as soon as the arm
package is in unstable.
