I am well versed with stable-updates, I upload to it several times per
year due to intel-microcode. Unless there is previous arrangement with
the stable release managers, an upload to stable-proposed-updates it is
not always going to be fast enough for this. "keep current" doesn't
mean "rush into stable every time", after all.
IMHO, it would be far better to have someone maintain the debian
packaging of this stuff upstream, in a "apt-gettable" repository that
can be added to sources.list. Such a repository, although unofficial,
could be both Debian and Ubuntu-friendly, and target also the LTS
branches of Debian and Ubuntu. This side-steps all the issues I raised.
