sun-java5 1.5.0-11-1 for Etch?

2007-03-08 Thread Andrew Vaughan
Hi Sun-java5 1.5.0-11-1 was uploaded to unstable 25 days ago with several fixes that would be good to see in etch [1]. (The fix for Ubuntu #71933 is arguable RC). Are any of the maintainers planning to ask the release team to unblock it? If the release team aren't prepared to unblock it, (
