UML packages for sarge: likelyhood of making it to stable

Hello,

I am emailing to ask your opinion on the likely hood of UML packages
making it into sarge/stable.

We (the University of Newcastle upon Tyne) are experimenting with using
UML to manage multiple secure web servers on a single physical box, and
have been advised that Debian GNU/Linux is a very good OS to use for the
host machine, due to its management tools. We usually use Red Hat for
our systems so there would be a labour cost for us to adopt a different
distribution.

We would need to use the stable branch of Debian for a production
system. However, if the transition from woody to sarge would mean that
there would no longer be UML packages in stable, we would have to use
something else.

From a personal POV, I am a debian user and if debian was the best
choice for our needs, I'd be very happy to see it being used. What kind
of work is needed to get the UML packages sorted out? Is an NMU a
possibility?
