This is not desirable outside the freeze because packages in unstable that are used to build d-i then don't get tested until they land in testing. It might be desirable during the freeze. > wiggle the d-i build processing to fetch syslinux from testing This can be done easily, just upload d-i to t-p-u. d-i uploads are already built with udebs from testing, for similar reasons. There seems to be an unholy fear of using t-p-u for anything these days, which I don't really understand. Even when not using it causes massive and unnecessary logjams in unstable during the freeze. -- see shy jo
