I was hoping that debian unstable was an unused 'sandbox' for such things. Be that as it may, debian package numbers must monotonically increase lexicographically, and its not immediately clear what policy would be superior if we want 2.6.13-1 to be the official release. I could adjust the minor version number in the image, but there is really no space here for 'prereleases' with customary historical usage. I've found that testing builds on the debian autobuilder network is nonetheless crucial in getting a solid release finalized. Suggestions most welcome.
