Correct.

However now that I am in a position of wanting to get something into 
the

1st point release I am wondering whether that is true (and I need to
prepare an additional upload for proposed updated) or whether
propagation from sid to stretch r1 is possible.


Please wait for the release, and then follow the usual procedure [1] for 
a stable update.
You can prepare the upload and open the bug now if you like, but it 
won't get a response for a while yet.

unblocking for stretch point release?

Hello,

I first understood the latest mail to -announce ("Planned release of
stretch") to mean that propagation from sid to stretch is not possible
anymore (except for critical fixes).

However now that I am in a position of wanting to get something into the
1st point release I am wondering whether that is true (and I need to
prepare an additional upload for proposed updated) or whether
propagation from sid to stretch r1 is possible.
