thus:


3 - A package foo at version x compiles, but it is desirable that the
same package foo exists also at version x-1, because otherwise other
packages would not compile
This is, for example, the case for doxygen at the moment, where the
version in unstable is fine, except for kde, which requires a lower
version which is in stable, so that it would not be desirable to put
automatically the version in unstable in the stable tree after yy
days. At least till a version of kde could cope with the version of
doxygen in unstable.


But the automatic move isn't from unstable to stable --- that will remain a
manual process (as it should).
I did not mean that this should change.

I only answered Matthew's last question.

Anyway, the reasons why a move from a place to another place cannot/ should not/may not occur do not change fundamentally whichever trees are involved and do not let them easily categorised from a machine point of view.

I would think that this case (and probably the other two cases as well) falls into Matthew's category of "has a critical bug filed against it",
which would prevent any automatic move of that package.
The gtk-doc case is not what I would call a bug, it can easily be tested automatically, and eventually a --disable-gtk-doc could be added automatically to the package if it fails to compile.

Cheers,
Michèle
