I think you're right. And then there may be an avalanche after release day, something that tyros running sid should be aware of. (But I was just pointing out in passing that packages don't get a "free pass" from unstable to testing on release day. In fact, of course, unstable's contents, and testing's too, do not change at all.) Cheers, David.
