Does mdz have enough time to do the same for APT? What about all of the other various tools that parse deb filenames, compare versions, etc. Do we have enough time to track all of those down and update them too? I'm somewhat optimistic that sarge will enter full-freeze RSN (there's a BSP this weekend) and release in January. I don't think that's enough time. Scott -- Have you ever, ever felt like this?
