I believe that's because *unstable* understandably doesn't have a meaningful version number, and base-files, like every other package, is updated via unstable until the very end of the freeze. If I remember from past releases, branching base-files in testing from unstable to add a version number is one of the last changes we make before we release. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
