zebra is indeed in NEW waiting approval from ftpmaster.

I do not plan to ask freeze exceptions for the few perl modules, idzebra
and koha. This is because:
- it is new packaging (zebra and koha), not well tested, so not ready
  for stable (think that software in stable will stay here for one or
  two years)
- I will try to upload them in backports (once lenny will be released)

=> backports.org will allow more frequent updates to correct packaging
bugs (and backports offers compilation on all main Debian architectures)

In stable, it will be for after lenny. But it will be installable with
lenny + backports.org during lenny.
If you look some of my post on koha-dev, you will see that I asked for
some modifications in upstream koha (permissions, manpages, ...) that
koha developers accepted to add in the next koha release...

  Thanks for your encouragements
  Best regards,
    Vincent
