Yes, for "base" parts (the subset of Sucrose which all activities depend 
on) it makes best sense for me as distributor that each branch has a 
complete set of tarballs.

Alternatively there ought to be a single, obvious to find canonical 
place which declared which parts officially span which multiple 
branches.  But really I prefer the (in my opinion) simpler approach of 
simply rereleasing with bumped version number, even if nothing has 
changed.


This *only* relates to core parts.  Activities we have no problems in 
Debian handling even if they span multiple branches.  Or actually, we do 
have problems with it currently, but that is due to bugs in the CDBS 
plugin that I developed for it, not a problem with your releases. :-)
