Unfortunately, we are not able to accept such large changes at this
stage of the freeze. [2]
Since slony in Debian have little popcon, does it make sense to skip the
Wheezy release? iow, remove slony from wheezy (since it doesn't work and
we are not able to accept the new one). Alternatively, we could very
well accept a targeted fix based on current Wheezy's version… (correct
me if I'm wrong), the discussion in #678979 made me think that it was
not possible to extract a minimal patch.
Besides, once Wheezy is released, you may upload sid's version to
wheezy-backports so that wheezy users can enjoy it as well. You'll also
be able to update it more often than you might do in a stable release.
