That's the hang of it. For -13:

- Be sure it builds, and get it out the door so unstable/testing can be
  secure

For -14:

- Sync to glibc-2.2-cvs
- Mark all debian/patches/, remove ones that the cvs sync kills
- Run through as many bugs as possible
- Pull some glibc-2.3 cvs patches where needed (generally for gcc-3.1)


We wont even start to worry about glibc 2.3 yet.
