Just out of interest, what is that project, and do people running Debian Stable (ie: Lenny at present) really have the opportunity to use the latest bi-monthly release of it on their system, without needing to use Volatile or non-standard repositories etc? I'm aware of the ClamAV project, which can be very difficult to maintain under a Debian system, because an update to the main scanner might become vital in order to use signatures after a certain date, but the new scanner doesn't get included in Debian Stable until the next major release (which can be 2-3 years after the previous one). I'm intrigued how an application with a bi-monthly release cycle fits into a distribution with a 2-3 year release cycle.
