I think I take back my comment about the rationale for testing,
because I've just realized that metapackages use recommends by
default, so they can't be entangled in any transition.

So I guess I changed my mind to s.l.unstable should point to unstable.

I'd rather not. I find it weird that build configuration can live
outside the package being built.

I change my mind, so I suggest targeting unstable should use the
unstable keyword.

Thanks for developing the tools. Making these metapackages was really easy.
