We have clearly stated time and again: """ *Remember*: On the 5th of November, the version of your package *in testing* must be in its desired state for Jessie. """ We did this because we learned from a painful experience with Wheezy. Things in unstable do not always migrate when people expect it too.

If you had come to us *before* uploading 3.11.1 and said: "Hi, claws-mail/3.10.4-1 is going to migrate on its own before the freeze. However, I would prefer that we jump directly to version 3.11.1-1 due to X. The difference between 3.10.4-1 and 3.11.1-1 is this minor difference. " Then the premise would have been entirely different and I would have a different basis for my decisions. I might have advised you to let 3.10.4-1 migrate as it with the promise of accepting the diff if it migrated (assuming X was not a "major" issue), or said "ok, we will take it 3.11.1-1 immediately and we will unblock it now". > This looks like I'm being "punished" with a bigger debdiff (minor > version change vs micro version change) just for acting fast to > avoid undesired changes in testing.
