Jakub,

Thanks for the response.   Would it make more sense that FC2 development
inherit the package when it goes into testing instead?    Development is
meant to be most current and isn't garenteed to not break.   This should
speed up the discovery of any issues.   If it's good enough for FC1
testing does it not mean it's good enough for FC2 development?

Thanks,
Sean
