Hi Release Team,
I think the fix to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693263 would be a very
good thing to have in Wheezy. It was filed as wishlist but I'm seriously
considering upgrading it to at least serious since the systems in
question reboot 5 minutes after booting.
However when I adopted qcontrol it was very out of date so despite the
freeze I did a fair bit of work in Sid (including a new upstream version
and packaging changes) with no intention of pushing for those changes in
Wheezy (in hindsight perhaps experimental would have been a better place
to do this).
As I see it there are three options:
* Fix in Sid and request a freeze exception for Wheezy. For
reference the current debian/changelog between Wheezy and Sid
(which doesn't include #693263 yet) is appended.
* Fix in Sid and upload a specific fix for Wheezy via t-p-u.
* Fix in Sid but not Wheezy.
My guess is that the release team would prefer the second or third
options but please advise.
Ian.
