Bug Description

please add gdc-4.6 as a technical preview in the oneiric release. the p-series will see all GCC frontends based on GCC-4.6, so it would be useful to get some more exposure for gdc-4.6 before and see some feedback from users. It's a leaf package, no reverse dependencies in the oneiric

I suppose it's not a sync, as it's not in Debian. So if you can find an archive admin to review it (I suppose it's quite a large package), no objection for me.

However, the term "tech preview" concerns me a bit. If we release a toolchain package in a stable release, then sooner or later people will use it, and then will get breakage if it changes later on (I didn't want go in oneiric yet for the same reason, FWIW). In general I think such tech previews are better off with a PPA, as these can be updated without problems after release.

it's not entirely new, gdc-4.4 already is in oneiric. and we do have other tech previews like gcc-snapshot in oneiric too.

it will be a sync once it's in Debian.
