Bug#860466: RFS: equivs/2.0.10 [QA] -- Circumvent Debian package dependencies

also, TPU means that semi-automatic bug reports (e.g. piuparts, ftbfs and so on)
won't be opened in case the package has problems.
Uploading to unstable an RC fix means higher probability of a fix being tested.

I don't even remember if t-p-u is available as external repo
