There is a new -base release.

My sentence was not clear. I've already set -O1 on sparc, just try to 
build it (with apt-src for example).

Since there is name changes, as usual, -gui and -base will have to wait 
for manual edition of the overrides file first in the new queue.
Maybe we can upload the Core package in experimental first and if they 
enter quickly in the archive, then decide to upload them in sid. In the 
meantime we could prepare all the other packages.

Any other opinions ?
