Yes, I agree...

Well, because the packaging could have serious problems... And because
the version to be added to stable was not tested with the other packages
in stable, so we don't know if it'd work.
Maybe that could be remedied if the notion of "proposed-updates" was
changed... But the developers are already discussing a lot of changes.
I'd wait until Woody is released before duggesting any new ideas...
