TL;DR: read the freeze policy, and then go fish.

The changes are quite big (changes to the build system),

but the package
is pretty trivial (one arch all package) and it's easy to see unwanted
changes (which I don't see).

selinux-basics (0.5.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Switch to dpkg-source 3.0 (native) format

not acceptable [1]

  * Switch to dh sequence and dh_python2

not acceptable [1]

  * debian/control:
    - Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no further changes)
    - Add ${misc:Depends} to the dependencies
    - Update Vcs-* fields
    - Add X-Python-Version field
    - Put under the Debian SELinux team maintenance

not acceptable [1]

  * Remove udev rules, legacy ptys are not enabled in the kernel
since squeeze
    (Closes: #622563)

severity important for an optional package and could be done through unstable [1], so just about OK on its own

* tests/21_pam.py: Fix detection whether selinux pam module is called from
    login service (Closes: #531660)

not an RC bug.

* Fix python 2.6 deprecations in several tests, thanks to Robert Bihlmeyer
    for the patches (Closes: #585354, #654608)

not RC bugs.

  * Add debian/gbp.conf file

not acceptable [1]

  * tests/21_pam.py: Fix path of the pam service file

could be RC, if only there was a bug to reference

  * tests/02_verify_slash_selinux.py: Add support for /sys/fs/selinux
    directory

unlikely to be RC

* debian/selinux-basics.postinst: Only run update-grub if a configuration
    has been modified

highly unlikely to be RC.


I refer the honourable gentleman to the latest Bits from the Release Team [1], containing freeze exception policy as it currently stands, which is
__mandatory reading for all DDs__.

The more release team time gets wasted like this, the longer it'll take to release.
