If it's not ready for use except under very narrow circumstances, why upload to the Debian archive (rather than a patch to a bug report, say) at all? I personally don't think uploading packages to experimental before it is time for them to participate in transitions to testing and integrate with the rest of the next stable distribution is abuse at all. In fact I wish people would do it more often. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
