  Dear MOTU release team,
  
  I'd like to request a Feature Freeze exception for package apt-xapian-
  index.  The current version in hardy is 0.4, while the current version
  in Debian unstable is 0.6.
  
  This is a new package introduced in hardy (doesn't exist in gutsy or
  earlier releases), the only reverse dependency is ept-cache, so the risk
  is relatively small.
  
  I don't know much about this package, but from what I can see, the
  version in hardy doesn't work at all.  There are two crash bugs reported
  against it in LP (bug #178726 and bug #194731).  I have confirmed that
  the new version in Debian unstable fixes #178726, and the reporter of
  #194731 says the new version fixes that bug as well.  In my opinion it
  would be best to just sync the new version in Debian instead of trying
  to apply individual patches, since we are still before Beta release.
  
  The requested information for FF exception reqeust will be attached.
  Since it's a native package, the debian/changelog entries are provided
  as upstream changes.
  
  I've built the 0.6 version in a hardy pbuilder and installed it on a
  hardy system.  It fixes the crash for me, and seems to be working fine.
