Thats pretty much what I have been thinking about.

- updates to volatile (what is currently in SVN)
- updates to security (the security-only portion of what is in SVN)
Sorry I haven't released these, I'm natrually cautious about
these things (i.e. its in my nature). I'd like to get a better
handle on what is in the BTS before releasing. And I'd like
to work out what to do in relation to source-version descrepancies
in sarge: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/08/msg00272.html
And for 2.6.12, I'd like to see what is currently in security +
whatever backports are required. Let me know what I can do to help here.
