Also, now that squeeze has been frozen, I think it's essential to also make an 
upload for ia32-libs for squeeze, perhaps in september or so when the biggest 
inflow of packages is over. Then we'll have a much better supportable version 
for the squeeze lifetime. Ideally, based on which packages will change during 
the freeze, another catch-up upload when the release is very near, and/or an 
upload in the first point release are also very much preferred.


Cheers,
Thijs
