Hi Stefan,

> As recently also discussed on the QGIS mailinglist, packages from a repository named "unstable" can get blocked by system administrators (who not necessarily will take the time to try to understand what is behind all applications), regardless if I as a user tell them that "unstable" actually means "current release"...

I completely understand, and agree with your opinion. It's very confusing. Also from Debian point of view (experimental -> unstable -> testing -> stable). Please express your opinion on ubuntugis ml (or I can forward your message if you prefer). Martin
