I have hit a failure in my understanding of the freeze process and would be
grateful if someone could explain it to me.
If gfax in Sid is not fit for release, why does this have any effect on Jessie
which is frozen, which I thought basically means that nothing new can come up
from Sid? This is what I have obviously got wrong.
