*Support* questions on -devel are regarded as off-topic, as far as I can
see. That is, we should not ask questions about how to "fix" things in
edgy on the ubuntu-devel list.

Quite so.

I seem to recall a similar discussion here when Hoary was the -devel branch
- one suggestion was to tag questions with the code name: thus 

"[Edgy]: Flurble broken in package "foo-on-crack": symlinking
to /usr/bin/something-sensible deprecated? "

At least, that way, people who have no interest in Edgy's "foo-on-crack"
can skip the thread ;p
