I have to admit that I personally do not any testing in experimental.  This
is way below my visible horizont in day-to-day work.  So you might facing
the situation that you are the only tester of the experimental packages.

If somebody is using unstable he is using this on his own risk.  I'm using
stable on my production servers (even one runs under Woody with Zope 2.5.1).

My hope was that *you* would know this.  I think in the uploaders field
has to be a e-mail address which is in the Debian keyring which pkg-zope-devel
is definitely not.  The reasoning behind my intention was that anybody
who is reading this can feel free to add his own upload addres to this
field if necessary.  I have no idea how this can be done else.  People
who raised the group maintainance issue might perhaps know more ...

Kind regards
