What is britney and britney2

Britney2 is a program that can be used to migrate debian-based packages from one suite to another. It is the tool used by Debian and Ubuntu to choose which packages are ready for wider testing.

Britney2 is the reimplementation and replacement of the original britney program. Through out this documentation, any mention of britney generally refers to the britney2 implementation. When there is a need to reference the original britney implementation, this documentation will use britney1.
