That sounds cool.

Do you have any thoughts on providing packages during the release
process itself?  It seems like it provides non-trivial value to our
users that, as soon as the new version announcement goes up, they can
download a package and start using it. Providing these, of course, is
why the files diverged from your versions.  So I'm wondering how we
can make this work, in the future; do you have any thoughts how we
could provide "0-day" packages, _and_ continue to provide top-notch
packages through the normal debian channels?
