Hi,
I want to wait until Wheezy is released before I do that.
Right now I'm using experimental as the base point for derivatives like
Ubuntu.
I don't want zeromq3 in any derivatives as it simply does not work (not
sure why, probably the newer libc version) and I can't add a package for
each version right now zeromq 2 and 3 package build dependencies are
mutually exclusive.
The only way for dual packages right now would be to add a new source
copy which I don't want to do (also it would probably be stuck in the
Debian NEW queue until wheezy release anyway).

Once wheezy is released I can use unstable as the base point and
experimental can again be truly experimental.

Cheers,
Julian
