It would however be nice to have security available for sarge for
reassurance but also so that people could choose it as a supported
release of Debian.
I don't see why people are worried about numbering for security patches
for testing. Why wouldn't they be done in the same way that security
patches are done at the moment? i.e 1.2.3-1.sarge.1 as the security fix
for 1.2.3-1
The package in unstable would need to have a higher version than that
but it would naturally anyway.
Do you have a reference to this discussion somewhere?
