The upload location is a Debian server that accepts only packages signed
with a Developer's or a Maintainer's GPG key.  After the upload, the
build daemons rebuild the package on all architectures, then install the
package in unstable, which makes them visible in aptitude or synaptic
after you update your package list.

So, if you want to use the version of asis currently in unstable (viz
2010-2), here is what you do:

- make sure you are using Debian unstable (duh) in /etc/apt/sources.list
- launch aptitude or synaptic or whatever
- update your package list
- look for asis2010-dev and install it.

Note: I cannot speak for Ubuntu.  If a Debian package is not in Ubuntu,
upgrade to Debian.
