But since your plan is different, I suggest you ask _now_, before you spend time on keeping the massively patched old release, if the release team might consider approving the newer release wich includes upstream maintainance of those same patches.We prefer targeted fixes against the version currently sitting in Squeeze. The diff between experimental and testing is really huge and we won't be able to review it or accept it, I'm afraid. (especially so late in the freeze).
Thanks for clarifying that there is no(!) chance of accepting the newer upstream release for Squeeze.
Great then that Michael (hopefully) steps in and takes responsibility of handling this more elegantly than I have been capable of.
