How about adding a warning to the module that it is experimental? I'd like to avoid rolling back stuff we already have in newer. Otherwise, we could upload a 0.8.8 with a disabled module as well, but that might create problems later on with merging Ubuntu packages that depend on python-apt (>= 0.8.5) and expect apt.auth to be there. We could also create a 0.8.4.1 release for testing, by branching off unstable's 0.8.7, merging the changelog entries for 0.8.5, 0.8.6, and 0.8.7 into 0.8.4.1, and removing apt.auth mentions, and disabling or removing that module. But that is a bit more work. We could also name 0.8.4.1 as 0.8.4+wheezy1, but given that unstable is past 0.8.4 already, just using 0.8.4.X instead of 0.8.4+wheezyX seems a bit nicer. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
