Your decision whether you upload into Debian experimental or unstable should not be affected by other derivative distribution policies. You can request syncing packages from experimental into Ubuntu, but the package will still land in Ubuntu's new queue and require verification. You can always provide backports/ppa/etc regardless of the package status in the archive. Given above, unstable or experimental? -- Regards, Dmitrijs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
