I suggested that very same thing in the last meeting, but Mathias said it would be too complicated doing it that way. I'm not a developer or package maintainer, so I just dropped it at that. All in all, I agree with ScottK. It's best to get it done right after an LTS release and users will have 5 years to update their 3rd party software. Although I would also hope to get Debian on board.
