Thanks!

I'd like to tack on a semi-related (or possibly not at all related)
question.  Should we consider adopting a different set of code
names/suites for our APT repository?  For example:

testing
stable
oldstable
(maybe) reallyoldstable

or perhaps go by version number (modified as needed to confirm with
any toolchain expectations about the format of the suite name)?

3.16.x
3.14.x
etc.

Doing this would avoid any implications about which particular OS
releases a given package can work with.

Regards,

Galen
