Is a former bind maintainer I have to support Adam here. In my opinion 
it depends what package is taken and it's really a big difference 
between a huge project (like gnome/gcc) and relative small one like bind.

Bind alpha/beta versions are periodically more stable than other 
**stable** projects.

Anyway, do you know what rules have upstreams of all our packages? What 
is a stable version in one can be an alpha for others. We can hardly 
make strict general rules if reliable and balanced measure is missing.
