  Bug #870173 in Launchpad itself: "Sync from Debian testing for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/870173

= Summary =

As per bug 870173, the consensus of the Ubuntu release team is to sync packages from Debian testing rather than unstable for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release cycle.  Ideally this would not involve a Launchpad code change, but until bug 827555 is fixed we still have this Ubuntu policy decision in the Launchpad source tree.

== Proposed fix ==

Change "unstable" to "testing" in _syncorigins.py, as before.

== Pre-implementation notes ==

None since this is a repeat of a change for previous LTS cycles, and we've already established recently that we won't be able to switch over to API-based autosyncs in time for the start of our next release cycle (although most manual syncs should be via the API now).

== Demo and Q/A ==

I think this is no-qa.
