Not really. As stated shortly after the Sarge release, one of the release team goals was to always as close to a releasable state as possible. For them, that means removing RC-buggy packages from testing. Unless the package is very high profile (gcc, glibc, X, GNOME, etc.) this is probably the best thing to do. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
