No; the packages will only get removed from testing when either the binary packages no longer exist in unstable or the source package is removed from testing. > Regardless of the above, I can prepare a new upload.

Given that nothing in the archive uses the Qt3 libraries, either of #1 or #2 should be ok. Hopefully a fix could be found more quickly though. :) [...] > If the release team feels otherwise, I can work with the present > sources.

Given that it would represent a year of development relative to unstable, I'm guessing it might be quite large. :-/ Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
