That does mean, if you're unlucky, that there gets to be a double release every now and again - which means a very long weekend of building and testing. There are some people who will never ever use a dot-0 release. It's quite safe to do this in Debian as it will hve had about two years of testing prior to release. The idea of a point release is also to periodically round up security fixes and publish them in a block. If you update regularly - say once a week - to pick up fixes and patches, then a point release will change very little indeed. All the very best, as ever, Andy
