If you are running Debian testing/unstable, please subscribe and listen
to what Developers are talking at

debian-devel(a)lists.debian.org
debian-devel-announce(a)lists.debian.org

Asking debian-user question is not appreciated there but they talk about
major migration issues there. You can quietly listen...

PS: Squeeze release contains many major changes. It has been rough...
at least for me.

Ah, somehow I have overlooked d-d-a all these years. Now to
read its archives...

Well, yeah, that's what we signed up for, after all.
However, one _does_ get used to unrealisticly
normally high quality in beta packages to the point
of ascribing dependability to even Sid, even though
we know better. Microsoft could learn a lot from
Debian developers, I think.
