I believe you can, by same rules as to unstable (e.g. no change in names 
of binary packages).

That you can for sure :-D

As I mentioned earlier today in another thread, unstable should be kept 
available as a "take-off ramp" for bugfixes targeted testing and thus 
Squeeze.

Yes, the freeze period is a frustrating time for us all, but if ignoring 
it passively (e.g. not participating in bug squashing parties) or 
actively (e.g. not respecting the unstable→testing→stable pipeline) the 
freeze will be *longer*.

Ongoing maintainance of the packaging in Git does not disturb the 
release process, and uploads to experimental does not either, so both 
are great ways to make the frustrating freeze period bearable.
