Please re-read the severity definition at [1]: while I think the correct severity is important (and I set it as well). grave makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of users who use the package. important a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone. Rationale: out of the 20 printers supported by version 20070718dfsg-9, only 4 of them are affected by this bug, which means that some users are not affected. > I would like to see this fixed for Lenny, especially since the package > with it fixed (foo2zjs/20070718dfsg-9) would be almost ready for > testing anyways. > > Do any of the maintainers agree with this and want to contact > debian-release please? I think it was quite clear from my first reply to you [2] that I wanted to fix this bug for lenny: this is why I cc:ed d-release in primis and wait for their reply (thanks to Luk) before any action. I prepared a package and asked to test it [3] (unfortunately, I do not have any of the affected printers), but no one replied. Finally, I anyway updated the package to unstable and I have already planned to ask for a freeze exception. I have not done it yet because anyway the package needs 10 days in unstable before any possible migration. So, yes, expect to read an unblock request on the foo2zjs-maintainer list very soon :-D Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477923#22 [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477923#32
