It is possible to fix non-RC bugs in updates to stable (that are deemed important enough to be fixed). The maintainer and the (stable) release managers have to agree with it though. > In the long run, I want to take over the package as there is currently > no maintainer for it.

The release managers usually require bugs to be fixed in testing before approving changes to stable. Regards, Ansgar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
