AFAIK, if a package is not intended to go into testing, it should be in
experimental rather than unstable.

IIRC, technically, we wouldn't need to worry about upgrades, since we
only need to do upgrades from the previous Debian release. Of course,
that's not a very nice thing to do. One option is to provide a 2.2 deb
package that they can download from some other repository (we could
probably dump it somewhere in Alioth). That would probably be easier
than having to install 2.2 via a non-deb method. And you could add a
preinst script in the 2.5 package that would abort the upgrade if the
user tries to upgrade from 1.9.
