So this would mean, that squeeze will release with 3.1.x (3.1.0 release in Apr 2009), which will be several months old when squeeze releases. Would it be possible to package 3.2.0 for unstable, and package 3.2.1 when it is released, together with a freeze exception by the release team before you upload 3.2.0 to unstable? Would the release team be willing to give such an exception?
