So basically they've downloaded a weekly snapshot and making it out to
be a big deal? It's not Debian 5.0 until it's released, and there's no
sense in using it unless you know what you're doing and are prepared for
the bugs (as Neil pointed out).

Cue dozens of complaints about Debian being "so unstable" because this
is being advertised as something it's not.
