It's a relic of the odd-and-even versioning system that no longer exists.
I kept with it mostly out of inertia and there not seeming to be much
harm in having a snapshot in stable. I agree that there is also not
much point in having it either.

I don't mind either way, though if there's any reason an upgrade from
squeeze would remove zsh-beta, maybe it's better to have a transition
package with a symlink to zsh for those few crazy people who use
zsh-beta as their login shell.
Speaking of transitions, did you guys come up with a plan for moving
zsh-beta under the aegis of the group?
