</I>
Yes :
- using cauldron in a vm, a chroot
- backporting by himself the package
Packagers convenience do not seems a reason to bypass our policies.

</I>
Everybody has a different vision of what is a basic requirement, and the
problem with such reasoning is that we first start to say "this is not a
new feature", and then, someone say "I need to have this in stable and
like $FOO, I think that's a basic requirement, so we should
backport/upgrade".
All packagers should have a cauldron installed somewhere, or that mean
they cannot test any packages or try to reproduce any bugs on it ( ie,
do the job of a package maintainer ).
And so if they do not have, I do not think we should encourage them to
do so.
