On the squeeze branch, I took the old squeeze package and simply updated the upstream package. I did not even change the package description, so it still says "freshmeat.net", is that ok? And I just released, that I now have two versions calles 0.7.2-1 -- the first fixed version for unstable and the new minimal fix for stable. Should I change it to something like 0.7.2-1stable? Or is this handled by the distribution field? If you give the OK, I will build the packages, sign them and post the URLs here. > Then I believe you need to let debian-release know about the package so that > they can approve it http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/ before it gets > uploaded to a different queue.
