There is a Debian Squeeze point release coming up but Emdebian Grip missed the last point release for various reasons to do with trying to implement the methods to integrate Emdebian into Debian [0]. So I've been updating stuff in squeeze-proposed-updates (as some people may already have noticed) and I'll get a point release out before the Debian point release, then another point release a while after the Debian one. (It's just easier for me that way.) In time, this will be managed properly by the release team. Once this first point release is out, I'm looking to move unstable to unstable-grip, at which point the dev, debug, doc & java components all fold back into main. I'll sort out symlinks once it's ready. The new suites (testing-grip & unstable-grip) will be available on www.emdebian.org, so keep using existing sources and let the symlinks do the rest. Once integration is working, unstable-grip and subsequently testing-grip will become available via your favourite Debian mirror as dedicated suites - only without symlinks for the old components, there will be only main. Once that is working, unstable on www.emdebian.org will become just another mirror of unstable-grip and testing-grip as unstable and testing respectively, with symlinks to cope with the removal of the components. Unofficial ports are NOT affected by the changes to unstable/unstable-grip and, for now at least, that includes armhf. During the changes to unstable, there will be times when lots of packages are uninstallable, including some very basic ones, so it could easily happen that unstable and testing become unusable for rootfs creation / bootstrapping for a while. Don't complain, this is all going to take time - just use stable. (Hence the stable point release to ensure that stable is at least closer to Debian stable.)
