As I told before I'm not a GIS expert - so please take my advise which
basically comes from a Debian packaging point of view with a grain of
salt.  Perhaps the name "unsupported" is badly choosen?  But can you
please be more verbose about what should be considered as "standard
releases".

I could imagine a split into different binary packages, say for instance

   geotools and geotools-unsupported

I guess there is some reason why upstream makes this distinction and I'm
personally hesitating to support something (on our own?) in
Debian/Ubuntu if upstream does not.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
