Hi, I planned to publish a new deborphan release in mid August as I did not expect the freeze to happen that early in late August ;) This new release would include a lot of refactoring and rewriting of some parts so that a diff would be larger than the code.
deborphan is one of those tools where "release often, release early" could do serious harm to users und thus publishing intermediate releases was avoided, instead a well tested rewrite targeted for Squeeze was planned to ensure that it does not contain bugs leading to wrongly detected orphans. The missing multiarch support is such a bug that will cause wrongly detected orphans when people upgrade to Squeeze+1 and to be able to release deborphan with Squeeze, multiarch support must be added (the mid August release would have included this fix, the version in Squeeze does not). deborphan has some reverse recommends and one reverse depends, a graphical frontend for deborphan. The would be no issues for these reverse dependency and reverse recommends cause by the new release since the interface has not changed, it has just some new options. I would really have liked the freeze to happen later this month to get the planned release to Squeeze and would be happy if I could get an exception to be able to upload it as originally planned.
