Hi Thomas and Julien The 2012.1-6 upload was done before the freeze and the plan was to have it included in testing before the freeze. Apparently that did not happen. I was under the impression that the freeze would be to uploads after the freeze, not to the packages that had not yet done the transition. Apparently I was wrong, and if that have cause this problem, I'm sorry for that.
We did not have any bug report about the issues for that change. Instead I did those changes in order to solve problems that were similar to issues in other packages. It was more of a cleanup work in order to avoid bug reports in the future. We did have issues with the conflicts, replaces, breaks in other packages and if I remember correctly they were important also for this package. It is some time since I did this so I do not remember all the details. I think the 2012.1-6 upload was a good thing for the package, especially for upgrade from earlier versions. That is however not such a big problem for this release as it has not been part of stable before. It may be an issue for later releases though. >From a release team perspective I understand that you do not want large last minute changes to packages. I can not motivate the change to be that strong to be forced in. If you want I can make a proposed patch based on the changes Thomas made for 2012.1-7 and void the changes for 2012.1-6. I do however think the changes done in 2012.1-6 was good and we should have them in for next release (after the one that is frozen now). This means that I do not think we should revert them for next release, but I do not have a big problem to do it for testing. I hope this clarifies the situation a bit.
