What I don't understand is the following: Webmin doesn't seem to have very specific (i.e. versioned) dependencies. How does a new version of e.g. proftpd not enter testing bar webmin-proftp (or a big all-in-one) webmin source package from progressing? Webmin does not seem to have many dependencies that are hard to satisfy in testing (or stable, for that matter), so I should expect it to progress rather fast. Cheers T.
