That means fis-gtm should be 6.2 by then and vLATEST by the time the next stable Debian is released. *Then* one can start to wonder about several versions. The infra- structure is there. I don't really get the problem. All software is released in versions. Each old version is available in snapshots.debian.org. Oldstable/Stable/Testing/Unstable/ Experimental each can carry one specific version deemed fit for release at the appopriate time. People needing particular versions will install them from snapshots.d.o and pin that. Done. @Andreas: s.d.o contains *all* versions ever released since its inception ? Including versions that made it into Testing - but got subsequently overwritten by a newer version coming in from Unstable - without ever ending up in Stable ?
