Addressing the Release. Anthony Towns posted a [35]roundup
targetting the woody release. Basically he says that there is
currently no real progress. There is absolutely no magic that can
be done to make a bunch of buggy useless software acceptable as a
Debian release. We shouldn't resign, though. Indeed, it is quite
obvious what needs to be done: we need to fix these bugs.
Besides, NMU (non-maintainer uploads) are ok as of now. However,
please keep in mind that a maintainer upload is still better,
passing on patches and helping the maintainer to integrate them, is
preferred as well. There's also a system implemented for NMUs that
will delay the installation up to 10 days (see details in Anthony's
mail). Please note that once you've made an NMU it is your
responsibility to make absolutely sure you didn't break the
package.
