I think I've overstated my interpretation -- or overinterpreted the
statements.

Having a feisty fluxbuntu version is /not/ the same thing as a
'fluxbuntu option in the upcoming feisty' and having fluxbuntu or
fluxbox in the repository isn't either.

Also, an ubhelp sez^1 that fluxbox is in the universal repositories, but
I tho't my herd4 has universal repositories and I don't see it in the
add/remove.

^1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox Fluxbox - Fluxbox is in the
universe repositories
