Do any of the bugs in the stable package pose a security risk? Is the
package uninstallable as it is in stable? Ask these questions before
you consider uploading to stable.
Simply uploading to stable usually has the package going to
proposed-updates. The release manager of the next point release will
consider inclusion of packages in proposed-updates in the next point
release (currently it will be 2.2r3). See
http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r3/ for a summary of requirements.
