That's bullshit. You can't guarantee that you don't introduce bugs along with whatever else you feel to be important. Not touching the package can. Therefore, I will only accept release critical fixes and l10n updates for dpkg, together with changes to code that is not used in lenny (that is "Format: 3.0 .+"). The fact that you dared to ask on the #-release channel if we would allow refactoring shows pretty much how much you understood the concept of a freeze. This discussion is over from the release team's point of view. If you are unhappy with the result, feel free to escalate it to the tech-ctte or DPL.
