Hi DDs,
I was just wondering about the number of packages that go through the
debian flavors per release.
X packages went in stable, Y packages went in testing, Z
packages went in unstable,
where X < Y << Z
for potato, woody and sarge(so far).

Hi DD folken,
I simple question.
In my quest to log package installation, I wrote a wrapper script for
