We have yet to do it, sadly.  There was a proposal for rolling up
volatile updates into things like etch and a half, but I don't think
that happened, and I'm not sure what the consensus was on that
experiment in the end.

I think it would be worthwhile having that discussion on debian-release,
where people with more experience with the release process could
contribute.
