Do you mean the step of reverting to 1.33, or the steps of later 
upgrading again to 2.0 (or later), or both?

I can help on all aspects, just tell me if you are ready to revert to 
1.33 or if you prefer me doing it?

My personal choice would be 2.0+ds+really1.33-1 now, then prepare the 
unpackaged dependencies of 2.2, and upload 2.2+ds to experimental when 
it is ready... and wait for the Release to happen.
