Yes, that is high on my todo list.

No, we are already quite close to freezing also upstream, although package
updates will still be done. But we will not move many packages around
anymore.
So it makes sense to start now working on replaces etc.

I have a long train ride I want to invest for Debian, so for the weekend
I can prepare new tarballs, and new packages.
But starting from what is there already now is definitely no failure, because
since the last tarballs I made not much real moving around happened.
