I'm sorry for my delaying. I'm preparing to upload CUPS 1.2.1 to
experimental (then will upload to Unstable after merging feedbacks).
Because 1.1 series is officially disconnected from upstream, I want
to adopt 1.2 series for Etch.

As same as q-funk said, I don't want to enter 1.1.23-15 to unstable.
But of course I don't believe CUPS 1.2 series enter to testing
so soon, I'd like to use t-p-u to install 1.1.23-12 version for solving
current amd64 situation.

Could you tell me what's the best way to upload it?
I think:
1. Prepare etch environment and extract 1.1.23-12 source.
2. Set distribution to "testing-proposed-updates".
3. Increase version to "1.1.23-12etch1" or something.
4. Write changelog, for example "uploading for amd64".
5. Build and upload ftp-master.

Thanks,
