I appreciate the people doing this, but this is a serious issue. I have 
to resort to firing up a VM or resorting to the command line on my local 
server to update my web sites because I can't do it from Testing. I see 
it also impacts other programs that I (fortunately) don't use as much.

When faced with a major bug, shouldn't there be a procedure to pull back 
the testing version - like restoring the previous version with a 
bumped-up version number while working on the known buggy version in 
experimental (no need to punish people using SID)?
