Can it cause regressions for existing users? -> No

Will it get installed automatically by the relative few people who have updates 
-testing enabled, and thus see any kind of testing (atleast if its 
installable)? -> No

Is there any added value in a new package first sitting for a few days in 
testing -> No

Is it rewarding to packagers if there packages become available to all 
immediately -> Yes

Are the chances of end-users seeing the package and thus installing it, leading 
to it actually getting tested better in updates-testing, or in updates? ->
Beter in updates, so if you want testing the package should go to updates, let 
me reiterate that this package cannot cause any regressions as if people don't 
install it explicitly, it will be as if it isn't there.

Remember release early, release often
