I cannot think of any argument in favor of sphinx transitioning from
unstable/experimental to testing. At the same time, I have a hard time
seeing the need for a full blown unstable>testing transition for a
package that aims to become part of lenny (i.e. preventing a direct
upload to testing-proposed-updates).
I'd be curious to know which/how many packages in lenny actually
build-depend on sphinx. Does anyone know a way to quickly determine
that -- it might provide some facts about the situation we are
speculating about.
