+Romain Francoise also published some <a href="http://blog.orebokech.com/2010/08/update-on-md5sums-and-debian-growth.html">numbers
+about the growth of Debian's archive</a>.  To his astonishment Debian's
+<q>unstable</q> branch grow from about 20'000 packages to over 30'000
+within three years!</p>
+
+<p>He also calculated the growth rate of the releases, and estimates, that
+with the upcoming Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q> about 29'000 packages will be
+released, which is a growth compared to Debian 5.0 <q>Lenny</q> of
+29.6%.</p>
