Debian is on 3.4 in experimental and I'm not aware of any 3.6 packaging
that is ready. So pushing ahead to 3.6 and maintaining that for five
years would be a significant amount of increased work and commitment.
It's also well past feature freeze now. If your team wants to take that
on, feel free to go ahead but please make sure to coordinate with the
release team, Juju upstream and any other stakeholders as appropriate.
