Serious bug ... xserver-xorg-core update kills X

[Ulrik Mikaelsson]

I would like to point out that this option already exists. dapper-proposed.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed main restricted
universe multiverse
deb-src http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-proposed main restricted
universe multiverse

What is needed is simply for this process to become mandatory for all
updates except  pure security-fixes, and then define an acceptance criteria
for when the package can be moved into dapper-updates.

Regards
/ Ulrik

Why not something like a -pending repository that functions similarly to -updates or -security, available to apt-get, enabled only by those of us willing to tolerate and help fix issues like this one, or by those affected by a bug whose fix is available in that repository and want the new package as quickly as possible?
