On the other hand, I would hope that preserving those packages in "testing", their users wouldn't expect it to be as "stable" and "properly maintained" as a package marked "stable". --=-uIUNpQwcfCsFxoHb/xrj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkwjf5sACgkQCaWpQKGI+9RQtQCfVJl2aHK5BeanmvaMlDPwBHyq TigAn3B16xxosYHlnvrgTZtKp1jW9Luf =3XK7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-uIUNpQwcfCsFxoHb/xrj--
