To be honest, I /do/ recompile everything, since I'm running the
packages myself. As said above, the packaging is done. But it's still
work in progress, and since Debian is in freeze time, it's not exactly
the moment to push experimental stuff.

The thing is, it's usually useful for projects to have users testing
pre-release (this is the point of having them, after all). But just
testing isn't enough, one should be prepared to face problems, report
bugs etc. This is where it requires some motivation and time :)

Your testing is appreciated anyway :)
