Maybe Debian was a bit > premature in its freeze announcement ;) The whole point of freeze is that no new packages are added and bugs in existing packages (like this, an obviously other bugs in sysklog as it is a the 29th release of 1.3) are fixed before the system release. The idea of dee freeze is that the only the fixes for release critical bugs, bugs that the system should not be released with, are added to the release system. By doing this you can set a general time for the release of a system that is fairly stable with any further updates to go in the update section of mirrors.
