gcc-snapshot vs. gcc-4.4

[Fabian Greffrath <greffrath@leat.rub.de>]

Hi GCC-Maintainers,

I wonder why there are both gcc-snapshot and gcc-4.4 packages in the 
Debian archive. I mean, as long as gcc-4.4 isn't officially released, 
the gcc-snapshot package actually contains a snapshot of gcc-4.4, and 
so does the gcc-4.4 package. Wouldn't it be sufficient to make the 
gcc-snapshot package only point to the gcc-4.${next} package in Debian 
via a dependency instead of providing a separate snapshot itself?

Cheers,
Fabian
