Unfortunately? I'd better say "by design". Unstable/Testing is not there to provide a product to final users but to provide a testbed for software integration. If there's a problem with a software package you: a) Resolve it if it's a problem with the way Debian packages it. b) Wait for upstream to resolve the problem. I don't see how deriving away to those goals would be in benefit of anyone, even if you could count with enough hands to manage the task. I in fact find that too many times package maintainers are to "bland" regarding what their "real work" should be in that neither unstable nor testing is the testbed for *the programs* but for their packaging so I wouldn't send to unstable software known to be non-production ready (i.e.: KDE prior to 4.4 or even 4.5). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
