I agree with Hamish: 5.0 in Sarge would be too bad; better 5.4, or even a
pre-release. But the best thing is to work on 5.7.
It would be good to have good scripting to upgrade 5.7 often; consider,
however, that crucial development (with further integration grass-qgis-gdal)
should take place within the next three months, AFAIK.
All the best.
