Since this went to the list, I'll add my missing comments from this
conversation.

I wasn't going to switch to SVN, I forgot to fix those URL's in
d/control (now fixed and re-uploaded to mentors). I didn't commit yet
anything, because I checked that
git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/testng.git has full upstream source. May I
ask why? May I remove it and leave just debian folder there?

I thought of experimental because this TestNG version is so different
from the one currently in Debian. But I'm happy with unstable if you
think otherwise. I'd also like to remove testng-doc
binary if it doesn't violate a policy.

I asked Sylvestre before changing bug to my ITA.
