Thanks for these pointers.  They explain the situation quite well, and
i'm satisfied with your arguments for waiting on 3.0-rc1.

If your packaging work involves putting together preliminary packages
for the alphas and betas, you could consider putting them in
experimental (as opposed to unstable) until rc1 drops.  I don't mean to
create more work for you, of course -- only do that if you think (a) it
would help you get the feedback you need, and (b) it doesn't waste a lot
of your time on the debian packaging.

I'll leave this bug open so that other folks can find the information
via the debian BTS.  Feel free to close it with your package of 3.0-rc1
once that happens.

Thanks again for your work on this!
