Fair enough.

I see that Terry approved the patches and Tim committed them to the  
v1.2 branch, so they'll show up in tonight's snapshot tarball.  Feel  
free to test whenever.

It would be good if we could sync up a bit; if you could test to  
verify that these are all the changes you need, we can get to spinning  
up a v1.2.7 tarball and get it tested before your deadline.  We  
haven't made a 1.2.7 release yet mainly because we didn't have much of  
a reason to; if it would help you in the Debian release, that's a  
decent reason.

My point: if you could test, give us a thumbs up, and then give us  
another week or so to test to make a final release, that would be  
great (barring any other issues, of course...).  So backwards plan  
from whenever the debian freeze is, and if we can get all the debain  
issues sorted out by then, we'll be in good shape.
