I believe the frame of this question is wrong, and will try to explain why. As I said in another BTS report, based on several conversations with the stable release team, I believe your understanding of what kind of fixes they will allow into a stable release is more strict than their current practice, and that this bug is one of the cases where they might accept a fix, as there are no side effects and the current behaviour is clearly broken. So I believe that if _you_ believe this is a bug that should be fixed in stable, you might be able to convince them to accept it. If you do not believe it, I trust them to not want to override the maintainer and there is no chance to get it into stable. <URL: http://release.debian.org/ > list this as the stable update policy: Fast response for security updates. Minor updates include security and other important fixes only. Major updates are sourced from testing, and are infrequent, but large. This issue can be said to be an important fix to make dblatex work properly with normal docbook files (and SVG is increasingly used with docbook). If you believe, I suspect the release team will agree. If you do not believe it, I doubt I will find time to try to convince you otherwise. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
