[Grml] Debian Etch and grml

Since grml is based on Debian "unstable" I guess Etch will not affect
it.  Is this true?  Or, will many packages will move from "experimental"
to "unstable"?

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" :-)
