Hi Daniel, Recently, I have have used Experimental as dead-end branches, for instance: - foo_1.2-3 uploaded to Unstable. - foo_1.2-4~experimental1 uploaded to Experimental - foo_1.2-4 uploaded to Unstable with the changelog entry from version 1.2-4~experimental1 merged in the entry for version 1.2-4. I think that this is nicer than having a changelog entry for Unstable pointing at the changelog entry from the upload to Experimental: think for instance to the links to the change files in the package tracker.
