Well, it's not only about RC bugs on the core OpenStack packages. It's
often about indirect dependencies, which are sometimes a bit out of my
control, unfortunately. Also, there are problems which one may face in
Sid/Testing, but which wouldn't be an issue with backports (this happens
many times, like with SQLAlchemy 0.8 / 0.9, for example).

Cool! Thanks very much.
FYI, I don't intend to work on this before I am done with packaging
Icehouse beta 3 (which I already started uploading into Debian
experimental). I hope to be able to finish that this coming week.
