So you are leaving the responsability of the decision to me. NEW is basically a no-op these days, so it makes option iv) unrealist. I'd still be in favor of iii), which would fix the RC bugs while keeping a PySide version in Squeeze. Can I proceed? If no, I'll proceed with i), asking for the removal of the complete PySide B-D chain from Squeeze, although it'd be sad. Cheers, OdyX -- Didier Raboud, proud Debian Maintainer (DM).
