Of course I would prefer to upload it to unstable, I just would like to test that I didn't break anything in d-i before that. I'm worried if I got something wrong I might make all daily builds unusable, which I would very much like to avoid. > Wait for Joey, Colin, Otavio's input about all this before proceesing, > though.

Well, I would like to think I'm on track to get cdebconf ready as a debconf replacement for wheezy. I'm already using it on my laptop.
