Packaging Mate is very tedious and time-consuming and can't just happen over night. There isn't really any value in spending so much time and effort into packaging a development release. We might upload some individual packages from 1.9.x to experimental though in case there are some notable exceptions where an update to a development version makes sense. Otherwise, I don't think this is going to fly. Adrian
Well spoken, Adrian. Thanks. Tagging as wontfix and closing (with some more info below).
The uneven MATE upstream release have to be considered development releases. We won't package them for Debian, unless there are good reasons for it (e.g. with mate-themes).
The current state of the discussion (mainly between me and Martin Wimpress (Ubuntu MATE)) is that we start with uploading MATE 1.10 (which is the upcoming stable MATE release) to Debian experimental
(1) after the Debian jessie freeze and (2) after Ubuntu 15.04 has been released and(3) and, of course, after the MATE upstream team has finally released 1.10 (which is overdue, I guess)
Saying that, MATE 1.10 will be pushed to experimental as staging area (because uploading / adapting all those packages requires time). Once all packages have entered experimental and look good, we will re-upload the complete stack to Debian unstable (targetting jessie+1 and Ubuntu 15.10). Before jessie+1 will be out, I guess we will have arrived at MATE 1.12 by that time.
