IIRC, there were tool chain problems in unstable for some time. This
held us up: we switched to testing.
Concurrently building against unstable as well as testing, in addition
to more bandwidth, disk space and cpu time, requires an extra chroot
and may also need some cran2deb modifications to account for differing
package names (this change would also help support Ubuntu).
