It's not "beta". I don't know where you picked up that tag. Version 0.8.5-test3 just is the third 0.8.5 release candidate and is far more stable than 0.8.4. It's not about being bleeding edge, it's about having less bugs. As for why 0.8.4 is not in etch, it's imply because it had too many release-critical bugs (that are now fixed in 0.8.5-test3) and was automatically removed from testing. Feel free to report any real issues (bugs, missing features, regressions) you may have with the version currently in sid. Those specific issues I will take into account, but I am afraid I will not package an old and buggy version of VLC just because it's an official release. > Furthermore, I tried to install > the build-deps for 0.8.5-test3 beta, and recieved the cryptic: > ``E: Build-dependencies for vlc could not be satisfied.''
