Andrey, Have you ever tried to read what other people wrote? There's a package freeze policy, which defines the procedures quite clearly; besides, Qt-KDE team is not that big and it's hardly possible they'll manage to package and push KDE 4.10 till wheezy release. On Fri, 8 Feb 2013 00:33:35

MTP is a must-have. Simultaneously accessing data from a PC and a phone isn't a hard sell. The options have already been laid out here among everyone's angst. There's a freeze policy and one can help with a backport. This must-have must be had later or separately. On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 8:21 AM,

If there's any links for newer android devices support MTP-only, I'm interested to see but I think this is a mistake. The first statement google decided to remove usb mass storage ... is correct in the sense of google-branded devices. I believe this is also the case for the latest from samsung.

For Samsung devices, it seems to be some, but not all devices. Looking at the tablets, you have usb mass storage support in the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 N8000 and the N8020, but not in the N8010. The N8010 and N8020 are marked as new on samsung.at, so I guess there is no fixed policy
