Etch frozen!

Yesterday the release manager Andreas ‘aba’ Barth announced:

Etch is now frozen! Wheeeeeee!!!


This means, that “all packages now need to be hand-approved in order to go to testing”.
So policyd-weight needs to be hinted, which is already done, but ipplan will never make it into etch, since its out of NEW only 2 days ago. So here needs etch-backports to take place.
I hope etch will be released now soon (mid next month). Good work since here .. go ahead!

Anyways … many, many thanks goes to my great sponsor Daniel Baumann. Without his patience and help this list of packages would never happen.
