For future." Right, so UNRELEASED might have been better But even that has problems: What if it is at version 1.2, you push 1.3 "for the future", although it is incompatible with the reast. Now we need to apply a fix to 1.2 – what should we do? Therefore the policy: version in the archive ≤ version in the repo ≤ version in the package plan > About package-plan.

Weird, never seen that. Looks like a problem with apt. Did you run apt-get update? Do you have apt-src lines in your sources.list? > 2. master fails: > > cabal: Could not resolve dependencies: > [..] > trying: binary-0.7.1.0/installed-f86...

I believe Sven has thought of a way of making the package-plan independent from the actually installed packages, but he has not yet pushed a patch for it.
