It might be actually longer because as Thijs mentioned, Debian will need to support it a bit longer. As I'm both phpMyAdmin developer and Debian package maintainer, it is probably easier for me to do the work first in the git for 2.11 branch and then push it to Debian.
I did not believe we were tied by Debian needs...
Not "tied by", rather "can benefit from". Debian needs to support phpMyAdmin 2.11 until at least the end of 2011, if not longer. So we're doing the work anyway, you can incorporate it for free. Or in this case, Michal just does the work in git directly and exports it too us. Of course you can decide to declare 2.11 obsolete before that, it will mean that Debian just does the same work but only within Debian. In any case there's no tying going on :-)
