That means it works, right now. But not being in the distro means
there
are no guaruntees of it working in the future.
Honestly, at this point I'd -1 an add like this. I think pulling a
package out of experimental is not really inspiring confidence. I'd
suggest looking for a package available in Ubuntu natively.
Yeah, wasn't suggesting we do that long term, just pointing out that it
is a release issue, not a current code issue.

Hi,
So the way that the package syncs works from Debian to Ubuntu is that
a package usually moves from Experimental->Unstable->Testing, Ubuntu
usually picks the package up in Unstable and gets placed in Universe
(usually). However that doesnt mean that the package will hit the
cloud archive as well.
How does a package make these transitions? Certmaster has been in
Experimental since 2009.
Regards
chuck
