True, of course. What I _really_ wanted to say was `we should use a
prerelease scheme' [0], but I'm not ready to write code for that yet,

[0] viz, a kind of semi-unstable that only gets packages added to it
if they're immediately releasable. ie, they don't break boot-floppies,
don't break CD-rom building, and don't have any release critical
bugs. See somewhere under http://www.debian.org/~ajt/ for some
ideas/discussion/proposal on how this might be made to work.
