<PRE>&gt;<i> - I am not sure on this part, but basically, we have 2 choices :
</I>&gt;<i>   - the packager take the cauldron package and push to backport testing
</I>&gt;<i>   - the packager move the cauldron package in svn to backport, and there
</I>&gt;<i> send it to backport testing.
</I>copy i believe. IIUC we should branch cauldron into stable relases for that
package, but what happens if the package already exists? I mean
foo 1.0.0 is in stable, a foo 1.1.0 is required and could be backported
into stable branch... we have two foo programs with their own story.
 
&gt;<i> WDYT ?
</I>I like the second option, but in such a way we should provide upgrades from
a stable with backports, since they follow a good feedback policy before going
to stable. 

I understand QA and sysadmins are not overloaded, but there's not so much 
difference between updates and backports then...
