Ian Jackson:
I'm absolutely convinced that we need a `buzz-fixed' directory, to
which Debian-1.1.patchlevel and stable are made to point.
I'm happy if we can get one soon.
I'm not sure I understood what you meant. Let me paraphrase what I
think you might have meant, and you'll correct me:
1. Create buzz-fixed as a symlink copy of buzz.
2. When a package is released that must go into buzz-fixes,
a symlink to it also goes to buzz-fixed.
3. Rebuild buzz-fixes/Packages and buzz-fixed/Packages.
Nothing changes under buzz, right?
Actually, I'm not sure we need buzz-fixes/Packages, but if we do, shouldn't
it be identical to buzz-fixed/Packages?
I have a slight preference to having the packages in buzz-fixes and
only symlinks in buzz-fixed (remember: buzz-fixed is initially just a
symlink copy of buzz), but I don't really care either way.
If I'm completely wrong, just say so. I'm hazy on how all this works
in practice.
If I'm right, I don't think I have anything to complain about, except
that the name difference buzz-fixes and buzz-fixed is too small; perhaps
buzz-fixes and buzz-better would be better names? (I think we already
have buzz-fixes, although my mirror is still downloading.)

Oops, sorry. :)
