Yea, I suppose you're right.  Switching between unstable/testing/stable
releases isn't a feature that a lot of people would use.  I know I can
just force the "downgrade" since I know it's a newer build.  I just
figured it would be nice if going from beta to release would be more
smooth.  I guess this is why Debian/Ubuntu releases name their branches
things like Gutsy.

Maybe it would be good to do the symlink thing for slimdevices.

stable -> 7.0
testing -> 7.0.1
unstable -> HEAD

That way I could pin my apt config to something like this:

deb http://debian.slimdevices.com 7.0.1 main

And people who just want stable can use that.  I still like the idea of
marking '-release'. :)
