It would quite probably be easier to do stable first, despite the above.
We have a few packages in both p-u and o-p-u currently which are newer
upstream versions (mostly via security), such that p-u > o-p-u > stable

to not include those packages until 6.0.9 or temporarily have oldstable

situation previously, for 5.0.9 / 6.0.3, and after some debate on the
day decided to include the packages in any case; I'm not sure we should
take that as precedent, however.)
