 This isn't documented for the same reason we don't track development
 releases: we lack manpower.

 It has been a consistent policy to prioritize work on stable platform,
 then stable desktop, then development platform, then development
 desktop for the GNOME packages, and in general "new upstream version"
 bugs are quite annoying especially for large organized teams like the
 Debian GNOME one: we are subscribed to the release list and see all
 tarball release, there are many many dev releases (in the hundred
 tarballs range every 3/4 weeks).  Bugs are only warranted when we're
 strongly lagging behind on a stable release in case "something went
 wrong", we have trackers like the QA pages or custom scripts for the
 general case, e.g.:
 <http://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-2.20-status.html>

 I hope this clarifies,
   Cheers,
