About Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r6
This update mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems. Those who frequently update from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.
New added
An ftpmaster still has to give the final approval for each package since ftpmasters are responsible for the archive. However, we are trying to make their work as easy as possible in hope to get the next revision out properly and without any hassle.
The regulations for updates to the stable Debian release are quite conservative.
The requirements for packages to get updated in stable are:
1. The package fixes a security problem. An advisory by our own Security Team is required. Updates need to be approved by the Security Team.
2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead to data loss, data corruption, or an overly broken system, or the package is broken or not usable (anymore).
3. The stable version of the package is not installable at all due to broken or unmet dependencies or broken installation scripts.
4. All released architectures have to be in sync.
5. The package gets all released architectures back in sync.
