updated mutt in sarge, udev moving fast
Today mutt will move from unstable to testing. Many people have been waiting for this, as it contains the headers caching patch.
In the last few days I have been working on udev, fixing many little packaging bugs and improving the default configurations. Maintaining udev is fun and an interesting challenge, except when I have to lart the people who send bogus bug reports because they did not bother reading README.Debian.
It's annoying that some other maintainers need to support also the old static /dev, but considering that GNOME 2.8 depends on hal (and consequently udev) it will be easier to make it mandatory, at least if you want things to Just Work™.
