Okay. So maybe it's not as simple as uploading the version from
experimental to unstable. I forgot to include the translations added
in -7 and -8.

My Deb-fu was lacking. I built the i386 binary to use boost 1.33.1
from testing. However, all the buildd architecture binaries will be
built from unstable using boost 1.34. If monotone 0.33 is buggy with
boost 1.34, this is an RC bug and 0.33 will not migrate to testing. If
that's the case, you may as well upload 0.35.

In the mean time, i386 users can use the 0.33 binary in unstable.
