[If you would be so kind as to word wrap your messages before you send them it would make reading and replying to them much easier.] Well, actually I was hoping you would search the debian-devel archives first and then bring up _new_ points as you saw fit. I did not expect you to post your original question again verbatim. You did have at least two answers to your original question already. Why is only the latest unstable package considered for testing? http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200304/msg00028.html Since I helped stir the pot I will at least do some homework. Just minor searching through the archive turned these up with relevent discussion. These are all in the very recent history and not even back very far. I am sure I could find some choice gems if I looked into prior years. Before anyone posts a follow up at the very least the following threads of discussion on this list should be mandatory reading.
