So? That is not a common situation and does not happen with most
packages. But you are right it does happen. Supporting a small "urgent
fixes" repo, OR being able to have multiple versions of one package in
updates-testing shouldn't be too hard.

Meanwhile, I believe in that updates-testing should be extensively
used for such upcoming updates by (almost) everyone.

The pros are obvious. What are the cons of this model?
