We should react on that basis only to new, stable versions of packages 
where the current version in Ubuntu is an unstable, non-final version. 
Upstream is presumably not-final for a reason.

We'd only have to do this *once* for each package of which a non-final 
version was released in Ubuntu final. Once the final version of the 
package is available, there need be no more updates (beyond what are 
already done).

Hopefully a commitment to doing this extra packaging work after the 
Ubuntu release would dissuade us from including non-final package 
releases in final Ubuntu releases.
