... already when this is done in experimental (e.g. soon ;-), or when
this done in unstable (after the Jessie release)?
OTOH, if we both rename source and binary package, we can upload the
change to unstable already as those packages won't interfere archive-
and testing-wise (just dependency-wise)...
But then again, I'd still keep 2.15_01 in experimental as it's a kind
of beta version. Hrm...

Same question as above: ... already when this is done in experimental
(e.g. soon ;-), or when this done in unstable (after the Jessie
release)?

Hehe, yeah. I though sometimes see a reason for doing that. (We
currently have a similar same discussion over at the brand-new
pkg-lynx[1] with regards to lynx vs lynx-cur[2]. :-)
