Well, it should not stay in experimental for too long IMO. And the the
security issue is minor when dpkg-source is not employed in some automatic
setup (dak setup for example).

So I think we can avoid that sid upload.

On the other hand, I wonder what to do with further work and translations.
It's likely that 1.15.6 is the last major update to sid targetting
squeeze. So when do we switch to "freeze mode" where translations are
updated in the sid/squeeze branch and where master points to the next
version 1.16.x ?
