IMHO this would be a good thing. The policy is intended to avoid disruption of packages already in sarge. New packages have only a minimal impact on the releasability of the system, and can easily be removed again if they turn out to be buggy, so I don't think there's any reason to formally restrict the flow of new packages into testing until we actually freeze. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
