Hmh, six months...

Please keep in mind that we plan on releasing Etch in little more than
six months - This means that, if you upload Squid3 to unstable, Etch
might end up shipping Squid 2.5 and an almost-there-but-not-there-yet
Squid 3. A situation similar to what happened in Sarge with mod_perl
for Apache2, where the official version (including a late API change)
was released two weeks after Sarge had frozen. 

I also suggest you to use experimental for this. If you want a wider
test base, maybe set up an unofficial repository and publicize it.
