We have 3 concurrent versions in Debian at the moment : 'Potato' which has bee
released and is our 'stable' version. 'Woody' which is 'unstable' and hasn't
been released yet. 'Sid' which is 'experimental' and mainly used by other
Debian developpers.
I think getting ardour into Sid could benefit the project in the sense that it
opens the code to a larger audience and speed up tracking bugs (after all,
that's all about what Open Source is). Your program would stay in Sid until it
gets stable and thereby benefit the contribution of a large community of
developpers.
Since Debian has really strict quality policy, your code wouldn't be allowed to
enter 'unstable' version anyway until it's mostly bug-free.
Cheers.
