The packaging for 0.9.3 is done and is in the progress of being checked
and uploaded.

As lenny is in freeze, all main new version and definitively version
with a soname bump which is the case for libvlc, can only go to
experimental.
That is to allow us to upload a fixed version in sid and then lenny if a bug is
discovered in vlc.
There is some way to upload directly to testing but it's really not
advisable to use them.
