Usually unstable is for packages good enough for the next release.
If your package does not need to be in the next release, you can also
work on the next plus one release in unstable. (Though if it is a
library, it might be nice to first request removal from testing, so
that noone wastes work on any of its reverse dependencies for this
release).
