Well, the whole “updating to new upstream release” is problematic for stable security updates, unfortunately we don't have much choice here. > > Yves-Alexis, what about restoring twentyeleven in the wordpress package > in wheezy/squeeze ? You'd include it in the debian/ directory. I just have the feeling it's not really sustainable, honestly. What happens when they ditch the new 2012 theme for a 2013? Should we keep it too? We know this is suboptimal, and we try to warn people in the DSA mail that they *need* to check the update, and maybe we should add it to the NEWS.Debian as well every time, but I have the fear it'll be missed too.
