That work flow might easily morph in spagnetti, as chances are high that the
maintainer has to upload a fix package to $codename-proposed-updates and
hopefully another one for sid, where the version might be ever newer (odds are
high for a different fix), in order to keep sid in sync, because stuff from sid
flows into rolling... and then again the fix in sid will lag behind. We won't
rename sid as 'stalling' at some point, right :-)
