in the mid term we hope to set up a mill for building ubuntu packages
as well, all we need is a maintainer for the packaging of this version. 
Thomas, you are a likely candidate to help us here, aren't you? >;)

As a packager you would want to start once "unstable" has a new version
ideally right now.

A number of people directly install from the "unstable" respository. So it is 
about one week of real usage for at least 10 users.

experimental -> unstable:  basic test, change test and better than before
unstable -> testing: real usage for at least a week
 
I am still considering when to move to stable. Maybe after another week given 
at least about three independent feedbacks that nothing has krept up.
