They do pull dependencies from experimental, but only when you version the
build dependencies appropriate... Though it would be good to not upload them
all at the same time, but kind of one each day so packages don't have to be
rebuild all the time...

2b) get lapack3 uploaded, preferably after refblas3 has been installed in the
archive (almost) on all archs, get atlas3 uploaded, preferably after lapack3
has been installed in the archive (almost) on all archs.

A release goal doesn't warrant RC bugs, though (request of) removal of
g77/libg2c does warrant RC bugs...

After incorporating my comments it does ;-)
