In practice, the release team has to do this at various points in the release cycle anyway because the transitions become so entangled that breaking something in testing, or removing a bunch of packages that we intend to release with, are the only options. This approach at least ensures that testing will remain installable and (presumably) useful during the rocky transitions, merely requiring a bit of cleanup of old packages. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
