I am not asking you to do any work on SCons.  I am asking you to provide
me with enough information to allow me to debug the problem.  So far I
have done several tests based on the extremely limited information which 
you have provided, none of which have shown any problem so I can't
really do anything.  If you would provide me with enough information to
allow me to see the problem occurring on my systems I would be able to
investigate the problem and hopefully do something to fix it.

I really do not understand your reluctance to provide me with this
information.

I don't know; you'd have to look at the other distributions and ask the
people responsible for the SCons packages in them.  I do know that
Ubuntu has snapshots too (AFAICT they're going to put one in their next
release as well).

I do know that other packages in Debian have from time to time required
features and bug fixes only present in snapshot releases and that the
additional exposure generated by including snapshot releases in
development versions of Debian provides much greater testing coverage
for SCons, all of which feeds back into the quality of actual SCons
releases.
