Sounds good, but according to
http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html#sablevm
1.1.3-1 is still stalled in sid for no good reason.

Oh! It's ugly! So what is the long term solution? Will I have to mail
debian-release each time I want sablevm to be migrated to testing?!
(don't you guys have better things to do? ;-)
BTW: In the good old days of SableVM 1.0.x (8 months ago?) the packages
were migrating w/o troubles, so I don't understand why there's a problem
currently. I've never had to mail debian-release or anybody before.
What has changed?

PS: The only thing that comes to my mind is sablevm-nativelib source package
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sablevm-nativelib/
lying around. It's not used anymore and is not part of sid nor testing.
Hmm... I guess I'll file a bug for ftpmaster to remove it. Could that
be the culprit?
