Apparently you don't understand. Read my lips ((c) G. Bush) I'll *never*
change the upstream API, I'll *never* ask the upstream author to change
that.

*You* are a serious problem.
If you don't want to change your configuration each time you did a apt-get
upgrade, then install potato.
testing/unstable is for real men (tm).
