As I said, there are reasons why libzmq3 cannot enter unstable. But
this doesn't mean we cannot package salt for experimental branch. So,
what really I meant is a separate branch in our salt repository. That
branch will include modified files to build salt against pyzmq3 and
other necessary dependencies. But since these packages only available
in experimental, resulting salt .dsc file should be targeted into
Debian's experimental branch (by explicitly setting this in
debian/changelog).

The only dependency we miss here is the python-zmq. I'd like to ask
Julian Taylor [cc'ed] if he could build python-zmq against libzmq3 for
experimental.

Thanks in advance.
