Hm, the directory names are a matter of taste. The current layout is:

experimental
sarge
stable -> sarge

I called experimental not unstable because of the experimental state of the 
BOINC packages. The problem with etch/testing is that 5.2.5-1 will become 
installable in etch once unstable's current libstdc++6 migrates to testing. 
So if we want packages for testing we need to build new BOINC packages 
directly for testing via a pbuilder testing chroot (the same I'm doing for 
sarge/stable). I can do this from 5.2.8 on and update then the archive layout 
to:

etch
experimental -> sid (to not break )
sarge
sid
stable -> sarge
testing -> etch
unstable -> sid
