I think the right answer is to put this stuff in additional release
feeds ("x11/extra" or something). Having it only available in unstable
would be a bit sucky since unstable is, well, unstable.

The 0.8.3 package files should be smaller anyway due to the stripping of
Source: headers and splitting out of locale files that you did
previously.
