Bug#622634: Please package ardour 3 in experimental

Hi,

I don't think that's a wise idea, since it's a fast developing beta
status software which can be tested via the ready-to-run packages from
ardour.org or svn.

Additionally, I suggest that Ardour3 will not replace Ardour2 at all.
The Ardour3 project file format has changed significantly and I suspect
that there will always be at least minor glitches when you open a
complex A2 session with A3, and you can't go the other way round. This
is only a personal estimation, but please test that thoroughly and/or
talk to the Ardour devs if you ever replace the Ardour2 package with
Ardour3.

As to the rest, thanks for the good Ardour2 packaging in the past!

Best regards,
Benjamin Scherrer
