Hi Jamil, Thanks for your interest in the Debian development process! Any changes in stable must "bake" in unstable first. So in this case, although it is not urgent in unstable, but rather in stable, it still has to go through unstable first. The following link explains more: https://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates There are also IRC channels where you can ask questions about Debian development without getting your hand bitten off. I don't frequent them so I cannot give you the link off-hand. The entry to Debian development is low and there are many ways you can start helping out. I'd suggest looking through https://www.debian.org/devel/join/ and https://wiki.debian.org/Community and https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDevelopment . Don't get scared by all the bureaucracy and formalities described, you can do a lot also without all the rubber stamps. Regards, Tormod
