Why not? All packages from linux-latest-2.6 seem to depend on packages having their version number in the package name (linux-doc-2.6.39), hence they could co-exist in testing with binaries introduced by the new linux-2.6 source package (e.g. linux-doc-3.0.0). Seems to be the same case to me. > > easy linux-latest-2.6/39 linux-2.6/3.0.0-1 linux-kbuild-2.6/3.0.0-2 > > This one is correct. > > So I think britney's rule that blocks out-of-date binaries to appear in testing > should be implemented in sat-britney. It should be configurable to allow (libs > oldlibs) in, though. Would that be possible? Probably. Can you give an exact definition of that requirements: „A source package may not be in testing if...“ Bonus points if the definition can be verified with regard to the current _state_ of testing and unstable, without talking about changes.
