Why does the Wheezy release team have its nose so stuck up about a minor
upstream version number?

9.8.4-P1 IS ISC's official bug fixed release of the 9.8.x source tree ,
INCLUDING 9.8.1*

Don't drive the security maintainers into loops about unsupported code in
an upcoming stable release!

Sheesh, some time dogged adherence to policy is NOT achieving our main end
results.

Cheers,

Matthew Grant
