Unless an LTS contributor is the maintainer in unstable, no-one might realise that a non-LTS branch of a package ended up in unstable when we freeze. So, I agree that a list of "these are hard for LTS if they're not in good shape in unstable when Debian releases" would be a very good idea. -- Sean Whitton
