I wouldn't even use a branch. TL2007 should work pretty well, and we
won't upload it to unstable before etch is released, anyway.
In retrospect, I sometimes think we should have uploaded the teTeX-2.9x
beta versions to unstable when they were working - we might have ended
up with 3.0 in sarge. The only reasons not to do so were limited
(wo)manpower and the fact that many packages build-depend on teTeX - but
they do not yet build-depend on texlive.
