"upgrade" would consist of upgrading all those binaries (bin/*) as well to the
most recent version. Thus they would be coming from 8.1, we would need to
assure that any dependent package is compatible to the "new binaries". Do
you see any dependent packages present in Debian which require those binaries
and would not be compatible somehow with 8.1?
meanwhile imho we should proceed with preparing updated package, and then,
whenever ready, check all the dependent projects to assure a smooth
transition.

That is why we are following up on the existing issue (#689230) which
maintainers (I hope) monitor. Meanwhile I will BCC (to avoid future
duplication of emails) the Debian Krap team (and other uploaders)
explicitly to possibly bring their direct attention/feedback.
