Hmm, I don't follow. The Squeeze release process doesn't prevent point releases for Lenny from taking place as long as Lenny will be supported. > In any case this kind of fixes are very likely > to be rejected by the release managers. I'm quite certain that it will > be. That patch from above improves IPv6 support in Lenny, and full IPv6 support was a release goal for Lenny. That patch is included upstream and tested in Squeeze/Sid. Just repeating that from my original mail to reinforce my sentiment that I'd personally think this patch might get accepted for Lenny. Some further data points (which don't indicate any general policy, though): - amarok was updated in Lenny after it didn't properly wikipedia contents in the context browser anymore http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/amarok/news/20091216T233214Z.html - totem was updated in Lenny after its youtube plugin stopped working http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/totem/news/20091205T215117Z.html - heartbeat was updated in Lenny, including a fix for IPv6addr handling of /64 prefixes http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/heartbeat/news/20090808T195740Z.html - subversion was updated in Lenny fixing a bug in a commit hook script http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/subversion/news/20090705T135434Z.html >From these I gather that such seemingly small fixes might get included in a point release.
