Hi Julian,

No objection really, but I would prefer the "proposed-updates" alternative:
  1. not everyone will upgrade to Etch at its release (to some of us there's
     virtue in long(er) release cycles)
  2. putting a fix in "proposed-updates" might be helpfull in propagating
     the fix to other distros (Ubuntu 6.06 most notably); not your concern
     of course, but still :)

Anyway, if the "proposed-updates" is a labourous job then by all means
tag it wontfix.

Thanks for you elaborate explanation, Peter
