Given the lateness of the date (proximity to release), I tend toward not changing what's currently in the Oneiric archive unless there's a significant (critical) bug affecting the majority of desktop users that will be resolved by a newer snapshot. It makes sense to use a PPA now, and if there is a lower significance bug, target the snapshot toward oneiric-proposed. Cheers, -Dan
