They are in Debian experimental only, which by definition is "software
which isn't of release quality yet", and their version number has beta
in it. It would be rather inconvenient to have to rename all the
packages once it becomes stable, as we'd have to carry a whole lot of
Conflicts:/Replaces: etc. around for a long while.
