> Please consider this an invitation to a mini-freeze for these packages, If I rightly understand this, postgresql must go into testing before heimdal. Postgresql is held up by perl so I have some leeway, but I shouldn't make an upload that is likely to keep things waiting beyond the 16 to 23 days that it will take perl to go in.
