Given the lateness of the date (proximity to release), I tend toward not
changing what's currently in the Oneiric archive unless there's a
significant (critical) bug affecting the majority of desktop users that will
be resolved by a newer snapshot. It makes sense to use a PPA now, and if
there is a lower significance bug, target the snapshot toward
oneiric-proposed.
