We really, really want to avoid going through t-p-u if at all possible. In this case, there doesn't seem to be a real issue with doing a revert in unstable. There isn't really any point in having a version in unstable that isn't meant for testing. The 2.6 version can go to experimental. As for the confusion, this can be avoided by using an epoch instead of the version you're using now (but that is really your call). Please upload a targeted fix to unstable. Cheers, Ivo
