I meant a change of the description. I probably don't know what its
intended use is, either, so I'm not going to propose one.. My current
understanding is that its for testing related to the upcoming release
(presently, "etch"), but not for problems with an individual package.
So, something to the effect of "testing for the next release", I
guess.
