Until it gets frozen, of course. Thanks, that's useful to know. However, I'm going to stick with Debian for now -- I can't see any advantage to Ubuntu (largely, perhaps, because I spend 95% of my time in Emacs). Also, Ubuntu doesn't seem to have xfonts-100dpi-transcoded and friends, which seem necessary for Emacs to show accented characters correctly (i.e. in the same font as plain characters when your default font is non-standard).
