Bug#731666: suggest to think about testing before uploading to unstable.



Package: developers-reference

I just had a conversation with pabs on irc about developers apparently failing to think about thier packages testing status before uploading to unstable and he suggested that something should be in the developers reference. I'm not sure where it would fit best though, in the uploading section or in the testing sections. Something along the lines of (wording could almost certainly be improved, I such at english)

"you should think about the status of your package with relation to testing before uploading to unstable. If you have a version in unstable waiting to migrate then it is generally a good idea to let it migrate before uploading another new version. You should also check the package tracking system for transition warnings to avoid making uploads that disrupt ongoing transitions."
