Thank you for your kind reply, I lost my temper a bit, sorry.

I may have underestimated the effort it takes to build up everything on
libc6.

Still, I imagine a debian release between stable and unstable. Stable is
nice for the space shuttle or other critical purposes. But, let's say, the
netscape installer package: There's no bug in the old version. But I think
there should be a place outside the developers' corner for the new one ...
Somewhere, where dselect can be used. ?

Thanks,
