Another option I'm thinking which would be in the middle of having to do some paperwork when it shouldn't be necessary and not thinking about it or not checking it is to listen all the changes from upstream NEWS or ChangeLog (if the list is reasonable) in debian/changelog. We already do that in the DesktopTeam even if we don't have Freezes. Would that make sense? Emilio
