Hi, when we last had a freeze, I wasn't a DD yet, therefore this was new for me:

Will this also be valid for non-base/standard packages, once everything is frozen? What version numbers are usually used? If it's no a NMU, does one upload an artificially high version number (debian revision of -50 or so) to unstable, just to be sure not to run out of maintainer-upload version numbers for testing-proposed-updates? Or is it normal to use NMU version numbers even for maintainer uploads to testing-proposed-updates? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt. Biophysikalische Chemie
