Your new package will migrate to testing after ten days if you set the urgency to low. That should always be the default value unless you know what you are doing. IMO urgency=medium or even urgency=high is only justified if you want to fix a security issue and the package shall migrate as fast as possible to testing. Eventually the package will migrate to stable when the release team releases the testing distribution as Debian stable. If you really intend to fix (non-security) bugs in the current wheezy distribution, alias known as a point release, then you might want to read those bits from the release team. http://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates.html In short: I think you most likely want to have this line netbeans (7.0.1+dfsg1-6) unstable; urgency=low Regards, Markus
