My only issue is that it isn't the default, really :-) > And why are packages being REMOVED (lib-pg-perl for example) when I dist > upgrade? Because that's specifically what dist-upgrade permits? If you're tracking unstable, why not use upgrade? Frankly, if you're tracking unstable, why are you *ranting* instead of *submitting bug reports*? Which part of the word "unstable" didn't you understand? (if you were complaining about the "testing" release, that's a little different, but only a little...)
