I would like to try to push Xfce 4.6.2 into lucid-updates, as lucid is
(supposed to be) a LTS. The SRU procedure [0] is rather annoying, and
requires testers. If a ppa containing Xfce 4.6.2 for lucid is created,
everyone will start using it, and no one will ever test the packages in
lucid-proposed and they won't make it into lucid-updates (I know, I made
this mistake for hardy and xfce 4.4.3).

So, could you wait for the SRU before creating the lucid ppa (karmic is
fine)?

Thanks.
