the Debian Jessie freeze is going to happen on November 5th[1] and the
migration time from unstable to testing is now 10 days.

That basically means unless you have a final 2.5 (or at least some
RC[2]) at the end of the week (26th October), it's not going to be
included in Jessie. 

I don't see that as a big problem, since we can easily provide a 2.5 in
debian-backports and the Ken's version I have in unstable seems to be
pretty stable.

1. https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html
2. I can push smaller changes via stable-package-update, but that means
those changes needs to be small and isolated enough.

Cheers,
