People say that development and debugging don't mix very well with
getting work done. Debian surely appreciates every effort to make
the distribution better tested, but it doesn't grant for anything,
especially when the 'unstable' distribution is in question.
It is very nice of you to help the project by testing the 'unstable'
in real conditions, however, if you aren't in position to do it,
don't force it.
