Well I think it was originally supposed to be for Lenny, then it kind of 
died.  But with so few packages left, I was asking if it was worth it to 
keep them in Lenny, hence why I mailed this list.  I'm fine either way, 
I was just thinking it might be worth getting it out of Lenny.

I can't speak for the release team but I would think if the changes 
aren't massively intrusive, it would be possible.
