iw should be in unstable very soon now, as the upload was done and building
seems to be going well on most of the archs.

As a side note, you mentioned Ubuntu is grouping crda and wireless-regdb into
same package build. Some text on IRC leads me to believe that John Linville
does the same [0]. This makes me want to ask, is the upstream split of these
softwares really serving the purpose of being more convenient for future
updates?

Thanks, Kel.
