Your understanding is incorrect. Especially now that Etch is frozen it has to be easy for selected packages that need updates for RC issues to be uploaded to unstable and migrate to testing with as little problems as possible. This means that DDs should be very very conservative uploading packages that other packages depend on (especially core libraries) as that means the new uploads will be built and tested against the new upstream versions in unstable instead of the version the will actually be used with in Etch. If there are ABI changes in the libs, it may even mean that packages will be blocked from migrating to testing. This has already been explained several times and it's a pity you seem to have missed this. Cheers, FJP
