Apparently 3 years of testing for Sarge are not enough testing? That's
what the release name "Testing" stands for, after all. Now Sarge is
labelled "Stable", and that means a reputation to live up to, in
Debian.
It is clearly an error, or is it? It makes for a very nice paradox:
since the README comes with a Stable release, it is out of place. But
since it is out of place, its presence is a bug, therefore making its
claim true, and consequently it is _not_ a bug... thus it is not out of
place in a Stable release :^)
