We are using testing and unstable but the problem we wanted to solve was
to have a simple way of including our own modifications to UST into the
boot images we create for the target machines. LTTV, however, is a different
matter, we will not do any modifications to lttv and then it's very nice to
be able to download the package directly. But still, testing and unstable
is just what we're looking for.

Since my lttv patches are soon to be obsolete, also for us, I'll attache
only the patches that I did to the UST source tree.
