Hi,

I'm currently working on a patch for piuparts that will allow testing
upgrading to the upcoming stable point release. That will be especially
interesting for testing upgrade path fixes: a fix that goes into s-p-u
but has an impact on the upgrade paths of other packages in stable
(without requiring them to be updated in s-p-u, too).

My question for the RT: is wheezy-proposed-updates a superset including
the packages from wheezy-updates and wheezy/updates? (Except perhaps for
a short timespan a security update needs before shows up in s-p-u).
So I would only need to merge the Packages files from wheezy and
wheezy-proposed updates to get the full set of target packages (keeping
only the newest version). Or should I better merge wheezy +
wheezy/updates + wheezy-updates + wheezy-proposed-updates?

In the future with PPA/DPA/bikeshed/.... "stable-next" could be provided
"serverside", but for now I'll have to do it myself.


Andreas
