That is why it made me wonder. This and given it was just today that a quite
large number of those packages appeared at once.
I've downloaded the Packages.bz2 from {squeeze,lenny}-proposed-updates and
compared those:
$ sed '{/Version/!d ; /lenny/!d}' Packages-squeeze-proposed-updates | wc -l
233
$ sed '{/Version/!d ; /lenny/!d}' Packages-lenny-proposed-updates | wc -l
231

Now how to find out those 2 packages which are in squeeze-proposed-updates but
not in lenny-proposed-updates?
If i understand you correctly the debian workflow is to upload all
stable-updates to s-p-u and then the SRM moves those to o-p-u afterwards?
If so then i think there is no need to worry for me anymore because previously i
thought those two flavours were separated.
Thanks.
