Well, if I see correctly, by "plenty" you mean 5: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=linux-2.6&archive=no&pend-exc=pending-fixed&pend-exc=fixed&pend-exc=done&sev-inc=critical&sev-inc=grave&sev-inc=serious&repeatmerged=no Moreover, please note that all of these bugs are already present in testing, as far as the BTS version tracking knows (unless I am misinterpreting the BTS HTML output): as a consequence, none of them should block the migration to testing. -- New location for my website!
