Current debian version is 2.5.21. Letting user test new version also
helps upstream to debug those new version. The migration from unstable
to testing is dependent from bugs fills against the package. It has
already happens that people using mldonkey fill a bugs that prevent
mldonkey version X to go into testing because they think mldonkey was
too buggy...

Having a large audience helps upstream to do more efficient debugging...
If the user base was huge -- and qualified for ocaml programming, there
should be less debian release. Each package, which are not so unstable (
generally i release a package about 1 week after a change ), helps user
who don't really know ocaml, build system et al to have mldonkey and to
test it...

Anyway, i need a mldonkey that build with ocaml 3.08, that needs version
bigger than 2.5.21
