The thing is, a release is actually tremendously helpful for the 
Debian packaging - we are using the latest tagged version there 
for ages.
I could, if you think that it is a good idea, just use a snapshot 
of the current ltsmaster Git branch, but that makes it harder to 
track with which ltsmaster state the Debian package was actually 
built with.
