Well, this bo-updates thing is definitely different to what has been done with previous Debian stable versions (1.1 - Buzz and 1.2 - Rex). In previous versions, each time packages were updated to solve security problems or critical bugs, a "point" release was made. For example, if package mount was updated from x.y-1 to x.y-2, Debian was updated from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4. The new packages were placed in rex-updates and there was two different trees: rex which contained 1.2 and rex-fixed that contained 1.2 with the updates applied, this is, it was a real 1.2.4. I don't know why the approach seems to have changed with Bo. Anyone has any ideas? E.- -- Eloy A.
