No, i don't think this would be a nive thing, there is no reason for removing it from unstable, and i think the removal from unstable or testing takes the same action/time. > I don't know whether it is possible to do it without completely remove the > package from both testing and unstable.

But then, i will not do it unless we get the green light from stefano. But then, i just wrote to the postgresql maintainer, asking him what is going on. Maybe there will be a postgresql resolution soon. Friendly, Sven Luther
