As of this writing, the package is waiting in the NEW queue before entering the archive: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/netbase_6.1~bpo10+1.html > > this bug utterly hosed the systems i am working on (fortunately a dev > network) If in a rush, one could simply install netbase from testing.

Would you volunteer to do all the work you are suggesting should be done? Or fund with money for other folks to do so? Please, be mindful, Debian is a community project. People do work here mostly on a volunteer capacity. While I may understand your frustration, this kind of yelling you are doing might destroy people's motivation in communities. Ping me offline if you are willing to contribute with your time or money to the project, I will gladly give you a few pointers :-)
