Just some minor remarks: In general the release team prefers bug reports over mails to debian-release@ (easier to track), but in this case, since it's not a concrete request yet, the mailing list might indeed be better. In the list of bugs you can add #683656 which appeared in the meantime (nothing new, fortunately). [lines 8/9] "is thus granted" -> "was ..." (that's expired now) [line 41] "erroneous harmful Conflicts/Provides/Replaces" -> #683656 [lines 44/45] "cannot migrate with its automatically granted freeze exception " -> obsolete [line 88] but the part about the huge diff is true :/ "Please find, attached, a preliminary debdiff's" [96], this should probably be the diff from 5.90012-1 to 5.90015-1 In general this draft looks very good to me. Maybe we can make the release team's lives easier by also providing "trimmed down" debdiffs, i.e. ones that show only the code changes without changelogs/tests/M::I/version number noise etc? Thanks for picking up this mess! Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
