Notice that having gnome 2.6 in experimental is somehow limiting the
user testing, since using experimental packages in the current state is
a real pain.
That said, making sure everything in experimental is in sync for all
arches uploaded there would make things easier. But then, maybe the pool
mechanism should not drop an older _all package if there is a package of
some arch that depends on it, but sure this would need more than one
version of the _all package in the archive.
