Joss, please let us focus on solve the problem than keep hurt the
project with this. I disagree with Marco lack of innovation message,
but it makes no sense review every bug on "his" packages. That's what
is wrong with us. Marco has no packages, he has work, contributions
and some more. We will be responsible for Etch, at least i will feel
this way.

We don't have a sane way to "put the file there" (trigger the upgrade
process) if the user is upgrading? You know, through some dpkg compare
versions magic and in the worst scenario asking for user input through
debconf.
