=> In my view it is enough to name those package as xxx-current (or

=> be used by all commiters).

   Just to toss in a data point, I have two wip packages: kmymoney2-devel
and kmymoney2-cvs. The -devel is a development release, 0.9.3, which
isn't considered stable yet, but is tagged, tar-ed, and numbered. The
-cvs package is what you would expect; I can see renaming it to
-current.

p.s. Has anyone done anything towards a thunderbird current? I started
playing with it a bit, getting the mercurial and CVS stuff pulled in, but
didn't get too far in the build before being distracted by other things.
