If fragroute is broken in stable, then a sourceful upload is needed for unstable first, because otherwise any sourceful upload to stable-proposed-updates will fail the version checks. So if there is any intention of fixing the broken fragroute package in stable, please upload to unstable first, rather than having redundant binNMUs that will just be superseded. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
