Yes, I actually meant to upload it to experimental, but for some reason
I ended up doing it wrong to unstable.
However... It's really just the same code that we had already in debian,
but with patches applied instead, so it's no difference on core
extension (there is a configuration page update though), however if we
want to be conservative, I can do a fixup upload.

Well my intention was experimental and I thought this was a good target
being a place where there are no really updates in general.
However, while I totally agree about not touching experimental on
uploading, on salsa side I think we should still target debian/latest to
what is ready for latest uploads, while other branches can be used for
work targetting stable. Otherwise stacking experimental work in other
branches makes things hard to reconciliate when the time comes.

Yeah, sure thing
