Looking at this unblock request, I noticed that the pts complains about missing build for mipsel and s390. As these archs are not listed on the buildd page, I suspect these are old binaries that need to be removed (and for which removal requests need to be filed). Also there is no debdiff attached to the unblock request. Looking at the changelog however, the change "move to use of dh in rules, compat 9 to enable hardening" is most likely in conflict with the freeze policy: http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html Cheers, Ivo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
