Ping? I see 1.38-3~etch1 is still ACCEPTED in oldstable-proposed-updates,
but it would be very unfortunate to have an Etch point release with that.

I understand the release may not be very soon, but I'm worried
this gets forgotten. Maybe adding a note to the TODO list on top of
 http://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/oldstable.html 
would suffice to make sure this gets resolved before the release?

Thanks for your work,
