That's a bummer! But I'm not easily discouraged so don't worry, haha.
We didn't have the fixes for the last few CVEs back in last fall anyways,
so it might not have made a difference.

Is there an appeals process or some other way to get a package
reevaluated for inclusion in a stable release during its lifetime?

And as long as the package lives on in Sid, it can be considered for any
future stable release, I assume?

But anyways, having a deb for folks to pull from an unofficial repo is still
a big step up from asking users to build it from scratch.

No rush with netatalk2. We have some additional fixes lined up.
I might cut another release in a few weeks.
