I opened a bug (#132213) where I suggested to open a stabilization tracker bug if necessary and the bug was closed. I was referred to this thread... I feel that if more packages would have a stabilization tracker bug things would be more clear for users. That would make it a lot easier to help solve bugs. I users start asking for more stable packages you can refer them to those bugs. And then they can help. And most probably I would help more too. I don't have much spare time either, but if I want something done in my distribution and I can help I would do that faster.
