\o/ Thank you! > When you talk about "next" point release, do you mean 5.0.1 or 5.0.2? Well, according to the published timeline for 5.0.1 the deadline to get changes in was yesterday. But I think that doesn't really matter: if forwhatever reason the deadline is not met, it might still reach 5.0.1 if uploaded RSN, else (if accepted by the SRMs..) it will just go into 5.0.2. For Debian Edu purposes this is also not a big deal, as we could upload the fixed package into our archive until it's fixed in Lenny. (I'm very comfortable doing so with packages which will end up in Lenny, I'm less comfortable to do so for packages which don't.) > Holger, what would be the correct upload target, > stable-proposed-updates?

Yup, they look like they do. They don't seem to be filed in the Debian BTS (haven't actually checked, they are just not mentioned in the patch-header..) but I _believe_ this shouldn't be an issue if you'd mention the releveant launchpad/upstream-bugnumbers in the mail to debian-release when asking for upload approval (and also mention that Lenny is affected and those bugs are at least of important severity). The fixes are in squeeze, thats good :) 10-file_monitor_remove_watch_crash.patch is a bit long, but then it looks quite straightforward, the issue it fixes is severe and it has been in an stable Ubuntu release for >4 month without complaints, so I think it's a valid candidate. All that said, I'm not a SRM :-) So in summary I'd say "go for it" and thanks again! :-)
