Re: Bug#24513: mixed dependency: wm2 depends on libc6 and xlib6

changelog of wm2 says:

> wm2 (3-3) unstable; urgency=low

which means wm2_3-3 will go into unstable (mapped to slink) only. If
the package should go into frozen (mapped to hamm) as well as
unstable, it should be:

> wm2 (3-3) frozen unstable; urgency=low

Since hamm is already frozen, you cannot ask ftp manager to move the
new upstream version of wm2_4-1 into hamm (frozen allows you to upload
bug-fix-only packages), so you'll have to build wm2_3-4 with:

> wm2 (3-4) frozen; urgency=low

Generally,

1. If there's no new upstream version in unstable, bug-fix-only
   version should go into frozen and unstable.

2. If there's a new upstream version in unstable, bug-fix-only version
   should go into frozen only.

3. Needless to say, new upstream version should go into unstable only.
