So, the right thing is to fix the testing-proposed-update mechanism to make that happen, is it not ? What is actually the problem in having the testing script applied to testing-proposed-updates also, and have it being autobuilt ? It is only for emergency fixes like those above, and the packages there should be built against testing anyway. This would also be helpfull for debian-installer stuff. Friendly, Sven Luther
