Your help is of course greatly appreciated, so if you need to ask
questions on things you don't know don't hesitate to posto on this
list.
AFAIK the testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) branches of Debian share
the same buildining environment, differing only in the set ok packages
they offer, sid containing any newly uploaded package while sarge only
the ones which survive to some specific tests.
Thus I suppose that if from now on we will stick more closely to
Debian unstable, you *should* be able to use sarge with less
problems. Anyhow I'd suggest everybody using DeMuDi to stick to our
unstable snapshot, which, being freezed, is not as "unstable" as the
unstable branch.
