I think if upstream do that then we should stick with it, but I'll see if I can trivially patch in a "warning notice" somewhere in the UI.

Afterwards, we can immediately begin packaging 7.6.beta directly after we release 7.5.1, and possibly have 7.5.1 in unstable with 7.6.beta in experimental.

I think this is better, since it means we'd stay mostly-ahead rather than mostly-behind. (I'm also suggesting this approach for the Debian rust team.)
