Hopefully neon is well on the way to being sorted out so personally I'd
prefer to wait for the moment.

If we can get neon sorted quickly, then making two essentially identical
uploads would be redundant.  t-p-u is also somewhat complicated in this
case by the fact that the most recent upload FTBFS on hurd-i386 which
means there's no way right now to generate a t-p-u version number which
would satisfy dak's versionning constraints as the 1.6.12dfsg-1 source
is still in unstable (and removing subversion/hurd-i386 from unstable
doesn't really look like a viable option).
