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. > Cc'ing the Debian Zsh Packaging Team and Clint for comments as Clint > currently maintains the zsh-beta package. 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?
