During the wheezy release cycle, the following debian-installer versions

version used in
20120327
ng at two uploads before actually building
cdimages, depending on how quickly we can find obvious bugs.

Well, maybe that's just me, but that “should work” is no certainty at

Hello,
tiny wrap-up for beta 2: the release happened one week after the
prospective date. Some tiny delays on various fronts added up and
explain that, but the overall results don't seem too bad to me.
That's why I'm going to propose the same timing for beta 3: 3 weeks for
development and bug fix
