Oh, right.

For this reason, I made sure to upload it in time to migrate, but I didn't expect an RC bug to be filed at the last moment.[1] :-( Isn't this a reason to allow the migration anyway? Version 14 really is quite old already. > I'd rather have a targetted fix for the documentation bug through tpu > please.

But I want to ask you to reconsider if 15.2-2 can't enter testing. After all, I could reasonably have downgraded the bug before the freeze, which would have allowed it in. I didn't do this, because it was about to get fixed anyway, and I didn't realize that the effect of not doing this would be that Jessie might release with 14.1. Thanks, Bas [1] Not that I'm blaming anyone; it's good that the bug was filed, but the timing is unfortunate.
