Sometimes I wonder why it cannot simply propagate to the upper suite.
We do that for packages from s-p-u at point release time, too.
I guess the flow would be "britney import → if version > unstable
→ stuff the new testing version into unstable".

We used to propagate security updates from stable into testing
so that they only have to be done once. But I guess both times
concerns about "not being built within the suite in question" might
apply. But we still do that for packages installed into *stable* (i.e.
across the major divergence between stable and unstable, or
at least into testing).

Kind regards
