Correct.

This is the result of calling 6.3 a technology preview: it is reasonable
to include in a *stable* distribution only *stable* software. Tech
preview are more appropriate for the "experimental" section.
I insisted with DDs, but I think their position is reasonable.
The only way I see is releasing a stable 6.4 really soon, and insist for
this to be included in lenny (next debian stable).

Hope this help; I'm ready to facilitate the process if useful.
All the best.
