Yes, uploading to experimental is the right thing to do right now :)
I'm wondering whether any beta versions should go to experimental in
general. The fact that upstream marks it as beta is usually a sign
that
the code is not for end users production systems. I wrote a couple of
watch files that do not even report any alpha/beta versions as new
version.
This makes sense, right.
It happened that I used experimental to examine some issues (e.g. on
some
architectures) with beta versions, but yeah, there is always the risk
that
such unreliable version lands into unstable after some
not-careful-enough
upload.
Kind regards
Andreas.
Best,
