zope 2.1.6-7 is the latest in proposed-updated, 2.3.0-4 is the latest in
unstable. There's some sort of typo there, dunno what. The security team
uploaded 2.1.6-5.3 and -5.4, -6 and -7 were uploaded by the maintainer. The
latter has the lovely reassuring comment:
* Include Hotfix_2001-02-23, Hotfix_2000-10-11, Hotfix_2000-10-02
and Hotfix_08_09_2000. I hope they don't have bad side-effects in
this ancient 2.1.6 version.
-7 is on security.d.o. So I'll assume that's what you meant. Actually, no
need to assume, you mention it later. Dunno what the above was meant to be
at all then.

The sparc autobuilder built this too, but it doesn't appear to have
made it to security.d.o, and maybe it should? I'll assume it goes in too
as far as r3 is concerned.

postgresql 6.5.3-25 has been replaced by 6.5.3-26 on i386, m68k and
powerpc. Not sure offhand if it's better to resurrect the -25 debs from
the morgue.
> proftpd updates 1.2.0pre10-2.0potato1 arm, i386, m68k, sparc

proftpd -2.0potato1 is an NMU by Ivo Timmermans, that fixes a string format
buffer attack, changes the user/group it runs as and
does some other random things.
proftpd -2potato1 is a security upload by Michael Stone, fixing a string
format problem, and USER and SIZE memory leaks.
the -2.0potato1 is what's actually in the archive, but doesn't appear to
be based on mstone's upload according to the changelog. Both appear to
have made it onto security.d.o, so I guess we just go with the -2.0potato1
version. Dodgy.

It's actually non-free, not contrib. The maintainer says that we ought to
be doing this in order to be allowed to distribute it at all; I'm inclined
to allow that in. (In any event, it's non-free, so it doesn't much matter
if it breaks things)

This was in the Reject half of your email, I guess because ibcs-base wasn't
available for sparc in stable previously. I'm inclined to let it in anyway.
At the very least, the same package is in testing/unstable and doesn't seem
to have generated any huge number of bugs.

61939 seems to indicate that upgrades to 5.1-0.3 can potentially crash the
machine because the watchdog daemon gets disabled. That's probably a decent
reason.

arm's not missing anymore; a calendar program getting days of a month wrong
seems a decent thing to fix.

Copyright violations seem a good reason to pull/fix a package.

It's an upload of a powerpc specific package made by Dan J, though.
