Bug#646215: Update Gnome-Shell to > 3.0.2-6 for amd64 or better yet, 3.2.0

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Thanks for what I expected to be your response, ``Experimental.''

What I failed to clearly get across is that even if it's in Experimental 
I cannot test it to help give feedback so that it can more rapidly move 
to Sid/Unstable, due to the fact the staggered release of packages keeps 
me from testing it fully.

In short, if I can't do a full dist-upgrade of Gnome to 3.2.x in 
Experimental, what's the point of trickling in packages when it really 
needs one concerted staging where all necessary packages are first built 
and then uploaded to Experimental, at once.

I can understand if it takes a week to get packages up. When it takes 3 
to 4 weeks for all necessary packages to be uploaded before one can even 
run it without a broken shell [Gnome Shell currently breaks] it's really 
a poor reflection on the process.
