Hi Andrew et al,

I finally uploaded 4.4.1-1 to experimental this evening. The last
RT upload ran into issues with the arch-all buildd, so I'll have a look
tomorrow morning to see if that happens again. Otherwise, this should be
good for testing. I'd like to get an upload to unstable done in the next
week or to so there is time for it to migrate to testing before the
freeze next month.

I'd welcome test reports, especially for upgrades on copies of
production systems, especially when there are extensions installed.
I've not checked the extensions in Debian for compatibility with RT4.4
yet so it's possible there are a couple of niggles to resolve there.

Cheers,
Dominic.
