We should react on that basis only to new, stable versions of packages
where the current version in Ubuntu is an unstable, non-final version.
Upstream is presumably not-final for a reason.
> I'm sure by now just about every package in Gutsy has an updated version. It would take a *TON* of development time constantly updating packages.
We'd only have to do this *once* for each package of which a non-final
version was released in Ubuntu final. Once the final version of the
package is available, there need be no more updates (beyond what are
already done).
Hopefully a commitment to doing this extra packaging work after the
Ubuntu release would dissuade us from including non-final package
releases in final Ubuntu releases.
