Bug#1017409: gnome-text-editor: Alpha release was uploaded to unstable, instead of experimental

[Amr Ibrahim]

Package: gnome-text-editor
Version: 43~alpha1-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

I noticed that alpha and beta releases of some gnome packages, including gnome-
text-editor, have been uploaded to unstable instead of experimental.

I thought experimental is the suitable pocket for alpha testing packages:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental

I'm on Debian testing to receive the latest stable releases, and did not expect
alpha and beta releases.

Are the alpha and beta releases of gnome packages really suitable for Debian
unstable/testing?

Best,
Amr
