I had uploaded 2.x to experimental a little while back (during the freeze) and in thinking through my plan for uploading to unstable I completely and entirely forgot to think about reverse dependencies. At this point, I've already caused the damage (again, apologies for that), so I think that the best thing is to get some patches sent out. I'll start working on those ASAP. Would the release team like to provide any specific guidance that I should observe here? Or perhaps suggest an alternate approach? Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
