A few items on the current status: 1) All uploads will go through Albin (or some other sponsor). While reviewing, Albin had some questions on the internal EFL deps and shared symbol versioning. The packaging produces unusually strict (for Debian) dependencies. We're working through it. 2) experimental -> unstable is a manual migration. Once in unstable, packages automatically migrate to testing, and then to the next stable release. Packages are not normally added to existing stable releases. We uploaded to experimental for additional testing opportunity, since Debian contains packages which depend on EFL. When we're happy with the status, they'll be uploaded to unstable. 3) The packages in experimental break binary compatability with the existing unstable packages. For instance, you can't use the experimental packages break the terminology packages in unstable. (Why? The packages in unstable preserve a bit of pre-1.0 eina ABI that was released into Debian many years ago. That requires disabling magic debug, and in EFL 1.17 tests break with this config. We decided the eina tests are more valuable than the ancient ABI.) So it's going to take some time - sorry.
