It seems that the fix here is not to change the Emacs development and
release process, but rather to encourage package maintainers to provide
packages tracking the Emacs trunk. The debian emacs-snapshot package
described as "The GNU Emacs editor (development snapshot)" returns the
following which is certainly many months (maybe years?) out of date.
$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 23.2.1
Best,
