Yeah, but we'll eventually run into problems wrt the new glibc/db setup if
this kind of practice continues. I'm sorry, but I'm of the opinion that
woody developers should mostly have their systems updated by now...or am I
wrong on this? If I am, perhaps that explains why some of the recent
uploaded source packages are failing to build on an updated woody box
(xkbsel, for example, which still is looking for /usr/include/db1/*).

What happened to the days of version numbering like "1.0.1-1potato" for
stable updates? Just curious...

I uploaded the new base-passwd package for woody only today. Once that is
installed, I'll build the one for potato.
