I assume you're referring to the dpkg upload that's in proposed-updates
waiting for the point release in two weeks time? Please check your
facts before ranting, particularly with such a wide cross-posting.
Also, ttbomk, the dpkg change landing in stable is not likely to
magically lead to the architecture being added to unstable - a decision
which is not the release team's to make or block. Again, please ensure
you've actually done your research.
I'm also getting very tired of the repeated vilification of SRM over
this, and if there were any doubt can assure you that it is not
increasing at least my inclination to spend my already limited free
time on Debian activity.
