Oh, I see. Sorry, I was being dim.
This seems to suggest that britney ought to do max of all the
urgencies of all the uploads to unstable after (or with higher
version than) the version in testing. Which requires the info from
dak discussed earlier in this bug log.
But I think it *also* requires the change to dpkg-genchanges, because
otherwise the urgency of uploads to unstable can be artificially
inflated there too.
I guess it is too much to hope that britney has access to the
changelog ? If it did it could do its own calculation, which would be
max of the changelog entries *mentioning unstable* between the version
in testing and the version being considered.
Regards,
Ian.
