Re: ulog-acctd not entering testing -- help sought

[joe@nahmias.net (Joe Nahmias)]

Hello Hilko,

I think the debian-release list is a more appropriate forum for this
question, since they deal directly with release management and discuss
how/why packages go from unstable to testing.  I am ccing this mail to
-release for them to comment.

Hope this helps!
