The trouble is that squeeze still appears to be a long way off. In my experience, it's not a good idea to start running the testing release until it's quite close to release, unless you don't mind the risk of dealing with some very severe problems. If you have a system that's solely dedicated to running FG then it might not be such a problem,as you'll avoid some of the issues because you're just not running that software, but if you use your system for any other serious work, in addition to FG, it can become a bit of a nightmare and impact your other work. This was one of the factors that has called, at least temporarily, a halt to my working with FG.
