Whichever is easier.
Padre definitely cannot be considered "stable". I call it pre-alpha.
So it should interfere with Debian stable.
If you can upload to experimental and give me feedback on other things
that might go wrong that's fine. If you prefer to wait till stable is out of the
way, that's fine with me too.
By that time I hope Padre will look much better.
