 This was in the past, before BTS version tracking.

 Compare these:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libquicktime;dist=unstable
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libquicktime;dist=experimental

 It's manual, painful, and "loses" history; quite the opposite of git
 where it's automatic, easy, and keeps history.  I recommend the second
 technique instead which consist of replacing the unstable branch with
 the experimental one (svn rm unstable/libquicktime; svn mv
 experimental/libquicktime unstable), but only when you're done checking
 you didn't leave anything behind.
