Thanks for unblocking 3.1-2. That should go a long way towards providing
users with a proper version in squeeze.

(Short version: unblocking 3.3 will make following upstream much easier
for security / stable upgrades)

However, that version is not maintained for security upgrades upstream.
I have took over maintainership of the upstream stable branch after the
3.3 release, which is a critical bugfix release of the 3.2 release,
which was itself a cosmetic release, introducing non-critical or
security changes.

That policy of including only security and critical patches to the Drush
3 branch will now be enforced more strictly by myself. I hope to be able
to maintain drush3 in a manner that would be compatible with the way
Debian handles upgradse in stable. But for that to work, I need that
final release (3.3) to be allowed into squeeze.

This will make following upstream *much* easier. From there on, I will
maintain 3.x for stable/squeeze and 4.x for experimental. When 4.x is
officially released upstream, I will then push it to unstable/testing
and backport it to stable, if squeeze+1 happens after 4.x is released.

The patchset for 3.1-2 -> 3.3-1 itself is not that huge either and while
it does contain silly output changes, I have been careful *not* to
include trivial changes to the debian/ directory that are waiting in my
queue.

Let me know if I can improve anything here to make your job easier, but
I strongly believe drush would be best as 3.3 in stable.

Thanks!

A.
