Forcing users to update packages from unstable is not very nice. Nothing in the currently-discussed design prohibits a distro from doing this; they would just want to configure their tools to read the updated public suffix list effective_tld_names.dat file regularly. However, i see the public suffix list as very similar in form to tzdata, clamav and other packages that are part of stable-updates (a few releases ago, this special part of debian was known as "volatile"). I hope downstream distros take advantage of this offering from debian, and i intend to get publicsuffix (and libpsl, if it works out sensibly, as it looks like it will) into stable-updates for the future. If you still have concerns about this approach, i'd be happy to hear them, of course. i want to make sure this approach works well for other distros as well as end users of debian itself.
