I don't think that's true. There are many packages going through the updates process all the time. The requirement is that somebody does some best effort consideration and testing that a fix won't break something else, that's all. It's very rare for us to deny a bugfix in a stable release, especially in a non-core package like apt-offline. It's usually just a case of determining what level of testing is required to meet the standard that our users expect. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-offline/+bug/1357217 for example, which was the last time that apt-offline went through this process. Robie
