Unstable is the "beta" directory. It contains all the latest releases of
debian packages. You are free to download anything from there, just be
aware that it might be buggy. However, due to the problems we've been
having (lack of testing mainly), the stable distribution can be seen as
less stable than unstable, but we are in the process of fixing it. BTW,
the ld.so.conf bug is fixed in 1.2.7 which hasn't reached all the mirrors
yet.
