For now I strongly suggest just keeping the packages private for
testing. Especially do not upload them to experimental. Having them out
for public consumption is a bad bad idea.

Once Drepper releases 2.2.90, we can make packages based on that, run it
through its test suite for all arch's, and decide on when to upload it
to unstable.
