Hi Debian release team, according to [1] postgresql-7.4 has recently been blocked to go into testing. However, the current testing version is months old and has open security holes, so it is crucial that Etch is not released with 7.4.9. The reason for not going into testing for so long is trouble on mips and mipsel. Please see [2] for details. This continues to be unsolved, but I worked around the problem for now by having mips and mipsel binaries for postgresql-7.4 removed from testing and unstable. Now only [3] needs to be done (removing mipsen binaries for postgresql-plruby and plr, and probably postgresql-pljava) until postgresql-7.4 can finally enter testing. Please unblock the testing migration. Thank you for your consideration! Please do not hesitate to ask me any further questions (you can also IRC-ping me, I'm pitti in #d-d).
