You insist on interpreting "the upcoming release" as the software
currently referenced in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/,
rather than as the software we're currently on course to release as
Squeeze (some of which already has bugfixes incoming).  Oh well.

Why not suggest an alternative that expresses the idea in a way you
prefer?
