In the past we have avoided packaging until final. But there is no 
reason for this other than simplicity and lack of manpower.

If you only want to work on getting this one specific beta release 
packaged, then I suggest you simply do it unofficially on your own.

If, on the other hand, you consider joining this team and generally help 
maintain AWstats for Debian, then that'd be awesome in my opinion: 
Please join our mailinglist and if noone objects (why should they?) then 
go ahead and branch off our git and release the results for 
experimental.

Make sure to rename upstream tarball to include timestamp, as upstream 
(in the past, at least) rerelease under same name.

I suggest using branch names "master-experimental" and 
"upstream-experimental" for packaging this.  Feel free to suggest 
alternatives, but please let us discuss first if we disagree.


Hope you decide to join the team :-)


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
