Hmm, that's a good point actually.

I agree, /{apt,rpm}-nightly should be the *bleeding edge*, so master if
packages are already available, and latest if not.

To enable all possible combinaisons, let's add a
/{apt,rpm}-stable-nightly (for 2.6, currently) and
/{apt,rpm}-latest-nightly (for 2.7, currently), to enable anyone who
wants to to get the latest bug fixes on a named branch
(/{apt,rpm}-{2.4,2.6,2.7,etc}-nightly are already available).

This means we're about to change the version /{apt,rpm}-nightly points
to. Any objections?
