Thanks for your answer!
Has this policy already been implemented? In the bzr-beta-ppa, I see that version 2.0.1-1 is offered. However, I would not expect a 2.0.x version here, but rather the 2.1.0b1 version. Or do I misunderstand the new policy?

What I outlined seems to be what we agreed on in the mailing list. But
that doesn't mean the person doing the building and uploading was
thinking the same way. :)

I do think it was meant to be that case for this release. It may be that
johnf wanted to stage his build into the beta ppa before he copies it to
the final ppa.

We'll try to make sure this all gets sorted out. Certainly 2.0.1
replaces 2.0.0 everywhere, we just should also get 2.1.0b1 packaged and
put into the beta ppa.

Thanks John A Meinel, that solved my question.

Although this question is technically answered, the beta ppa does not have the beta builds yet. It has been quite a while since beta version from 2.1.x hit the shelves; is there a problem in updating the ppa?

I don't think there's any problem in updating the ppa other than that johnf hasn't got around to doing it yet.

With 2.1rc1 approaching this is becoming more important.
