I just noticed that there’s a commit freeze for the Debian Etch branch (Debian admin), meaning that it’s slated to be released really soon now. Or from the Debian mailing list:
We just edited the generic freeze file, so that all packages now need to be
hand-approved in order to go to testing.
You can now throw your favourite Debian-based distribution (Ubuntu, Kubuntu and what not) in the bin. Well. Not quite yet.
