Hi, I've just checked with Ben, it seems we could be getting a 4.6 kernel suitable for testing (no regressions reported from previous version + mips* FTBFS fix) shortly. We could think about urgenting it into testing and releasing a new d-i early in the week, which seems OK on the -cd side too.
Glibc maintainers (esp. Aurélien): you should then have a clear path for the new glibc in unstable. I'm not sure how much time it'll need to be ready, that's why I'd slightly prefer if we could go for a d-i release first (as outlined above). In case major blockers pop up, we would probably let you go ahead with the new glibc upload and postpone d-i until glibc reaches testing. Having checked with -release already, I'm freezing udebs right away. (Please cc me on replies.) KiBi.
