If there are outstanding bugs you'd like to see fixed, provide patches or upload now. We are also getting into the last days for ensuring that standard and task packages get included in the Woody release. At the moment it looks like a lot of packages will be removed from Woody. Among these are a whole bunch of commonly used programs like gpm, Mutt, CVS, Procmail, Apache and Mozilla. People who can fix bugs in these packages and care about them are encouraged to send in patches or upload fixed packages using Anthony's unofficial NMU guidelines."

This message is really meant to be an internal Debian deleloper message! The threat of dropping Apache etc. is really just to get the developers to fix those last few bugs. This
happened last time when Potato was frozen. A few packages were dropped, but nothing that could be considered serious. As an aside, dropping gdb probably would be a good idea. It always seems to cause hassles with the mouse under X.
