\subsection{Detailed Description}
\footnotesize\begin{verbatim}Britney, the debian testing updater script
This is the script that updates the testing_ distribution. It is executed
each day after the installation of the updated packages. It generates the
`Packages' files for the testing distribution, but it does so in an
intelligent manner; it try to avoid any inconsistency and to use only
non-buggy packages.
For more documentation on this script, please read the Developers Reference.

conflicts relationships are checked in order to achieve the test
co-installability of the package.

\footnotesize\begin{verbatim}Read the upload urgency of the packages from the specified directory
The upload urgencies are read from the `Urgency' file within the
directory specified as `basedir' parameter. The file contains rows
with the format:
<package-name> <version> <urgency>
The method returns a dictionary where the key is the binary package
name and the value is the greatest urgency from the versions of the
package that are higher then the testing one.
