The official date for the freeze has been fixed for June 30, with a
mention explaining that "As with the Squeeze freeze the process will be
gradual, with a more liberal acceptance policy in the earlier stages."

So if you think that the last quite important bug you want to fix needs a
few more days of work before releasing, I'm fine with it. Sounds to me too
that this bug should be fixed to have a proper 1.9.2, and I can manage to
be ready to package it quickly on my side.

I think there should not be any problems to upload it in Debian, even if
it happens a bit after the freeze (not too much though). The Debian people
should be able to understand that they'd better ship 1.9.2 with all its
fixes than the old 1.9.1, with some annoying bugs. They want stability
after all ;)

Yep, I've been watching the tickets and commits the last few days and saw
you were all working quite a lot. Thanks for that (and the rest too).

I'll hang around and try to be ready in time.

Bert.
