Since 7.3.1 (which is no longer installable) you have only uploaded release candidates to Debian/sid. Please consider uploading final releases as well, before moving on to candidates of the next release. 1. I understand that unstable is the place to stage pre-release software. But this does not mean it must only contain such. Moreover, given Debian's slow release cycle some users (such as myself) use it for daily work, rather than for testing new software.
Oh, and for completeness; given this sounds like you do that (or even think of doing this): you are *NOT* supposed to keep your unstable at a point in time or even selectively install stuff from older/newer unstables.
This ia a distribution, not something to cherry-pick anything you like from/to. (Except for experimental packages that is)
Even if I uploaded let's say 7.4.0 and uploaded 7.4.1 rc1 immediately there will be no support for 7.4.0 in unstable anymore. Making your wish moot except only for the cosmetic 7.4.0 rc3 vs. 7.4.0.
There's no "we support any random version which might be in unstable at some point in time for time X". Bugs and other issues (like rebuilds for newer libraries) get fixed with new uploads/bin-NMUs and that will be it.
