You could of course upload a potato package anyway, and punt the decision to the release managers. AFAIK the package will end up in potato-proposed-updates where interested users of stable can get it. The chances of it appearing in potato are pretty slim, of course, because (a) it sounds like a big enough change, that even a backport (should you take this work on you) is probably too destabilizing, (b) it's dubious whether another potato point release will be done at all. > Explain to the user that the fixed version is already in 'testing', > and will be included in the next stable release.

You should definitely tag it with "potato" if you keep it open. -- Robbe
