I know, I will call the package
	luatex-snapshot
upload it to experimental, and people will get a warning about its
usage. It is ok this way, not many people will get it from experimental
anyway, but I want to have it around for testing, and better early
adoption then late work.

The point is that there are people who don't want to compile things but
still are able to test stuff. For those luatex-snapshot pacakged will
serve, too (and for me, because I don't want to have packages not under
package management control on my system ;-)


Best wishes
