I have been tracking 'etch' (as opposed to 'testing' for many months now, starting shortly after sarge became stable. This is the first time, though, that I've gone through a distro upgrade with debian (i.e., etch -> lenny) and since etch went stable last week, I haven't gotten a lot of updates, not that I would have expected that really. In fact, I have gotten 4. k9copy, libavccodecs, that sort of thing, from an aptitude update && aptitude upgrade session earlier this morning (Sat 14th). I thought odd that I would be having 'holds' still, does that mean that these packages will never get upgraded unless and until I replace 'etch' with 'lenny' in my sources.lst? And based on some prior list input, it would seem that it would be best to let my box remain on etch for some period of time before switching to lenny.
