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 However when I adopted qcontrol it was very out of date so despite the freeze I did a fair bit of work in Sid (including a new upstream version and packaging changes) with no intention of pushing for those changes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.
