Sorry, I meant the overall Debian release (wheezy) which is currently
frozen in preparation of the release.  The next release will not be
until around two years, so there is a lot of time to integrate SGE.

We should upload it (either the prelease, or the final release, should
it be released by then) to Debian's experimental component (in order
not to interfere with the old gridengine packaging in case we need to
update it once more for the upcoming Debian wheezy release), and it will
then get autobuilt there by non-x86 arches.
