Since grml is based on Debian "unstable" I guess Etch will not affect it. Is this true?
Yes, correct.
Or, will many packages will move from "experimental" to "unstable"?
Should not be that much as Etch has been frozen and Unstable is a moving target again. ;)
My translation of Debian's strata are
stable --> ancient and full of bugs, but patched testing --> less ancient, less bugs unstable --> current and basically stable* (grml) experimental --> might be buggy, package version conflicts abound
- Oxymorons abound: "Software packages uploaded to unstable are
normally stable versions" :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian
See my mail in thread 'mixing of distributions grml - unstable - testing - sarge for notebook' to the grml mailinglist:
