Re: Template Toolkit, Template::DBI and Etch updates breakage

Hi,

Note for debian-release@:
The Template::DBI module has been shipped with Template-Toolkit from
version 2.00 to 2.15, so it is shipped with Etch, but not with Lenny.

If the Template::DBI module is an important part of Template Toolkit, we
should avoid regressions *within* Debian instead of referring users to
backports.  That look more like a work-around for the release process to
me.

We should ask the release team if the package could still be allowed for
Lenny -- the code has already been in Debian before after all and it
would avoid regressions.  Though I agree it very late, probably too
late, for this.

Regards,
Ansgar
