This was a month ago and the patches are really trivial, there are translation updates, autofoo and: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/deborphan/branches/1.7.28.x/util/orphaner.sh?r1=873&r2=874 http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/deborphan/branches/1.7.28.x/src/pkginfo.c?r1=875&r2=874 Both bugs should be fixed in stable, the first one is triggering an bug in an other package which completely breaks orphaner on a supported architecture - the cleanup avoids triggering this bug and is being tested since June 2010. The other one is really annoying if you are hit by it. Given that a user trusts the --guess-all or --guess-section option and uses apt's autoremove feature, it could lead to libreoffice and all its dependencies to be removed if the user either uses a libreoffice backport or does a partial upgrade. The (in deborphan's view) unfortunately named libreoffice hit unstable when Squeeze was released. If you are not able to review two lines of code in a month, you might want to consider adding a vote based alternative for freeze exceptions and stable updates (e.g., three votes by DDs and no veto by a DD _or_ an ack by a release team member for stable updates).
