Packaging of new upstream (pre-)releases until wheezy

[Svante Signell <srs@kth.se>]

Hi,

A question about packaging of some upstream (pre-)releases. It seems
like many DMs package new releases/fixes bugs closer to the release than
attending to that now. Of course it is a time/resource issue, but
anyway. Why not package pre-releases in experimental, to squeeze bugs
out before the new upstream release comes out? Doing that will make the
release of wheezy much smoother than trying to fix things in the last
minute (and risk that the packages gets excluded from wheezy??)

Thanks!
