it also might be a bit disruptive for those who have already installed
the newer version of this package, don't know if you care about that. if
you do, a suggestion:
* keep the current development version in unstable
* report an RC bug against the development version to keep it from testing,
and ask the release team to boot it from testing if it's already there.
* upload a new "stable" version to unstable, using a different naming
scheme for source and binary packages, complete with the respective
conflicts/replaces/provides etc. (i.e. Binary: mongodb-1.2)
* once debian has released squeeze, upload transitional packages to force
users to migrate to the "development" version.
