I already read the policy, and since it sounds sensible to follow the upstream Stable branch for the debian Stable release, I'm asking. So, I take it we need to maintain a branch off the upstream stable branch, that will not include most user-related bugfixes (but include the piupart-related nitpicks ;))?
