It is my intention (bup maintainer - hello!) to request a freeze exception to
bup, pending decision on this one. There will be a painful change to backup
format between bup-in-testing as it stands, and present day bup, which I want
to prevent exposing Debian users to. I haven't yet decided whether to request
removal of the current version of bup from testing yet.
Note that neither python-tornado nor bup existed in lenny.

I asked debian-python whether they would be requesting a freeze exception for
python-tornado, and was told that this freeze exception was going to be requested:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/09/msg00008.html>
