A message that received absolutely no answer (and quite similar to the
other reports: doesn't work with current version, works with the new
upstream version, kthxbye).

"Now" was three years ago. My last message in the above bug report [0]
was also received with a silence on your side. There are 15 people in
the thread asking for a new upstream version. Several of them proposed
patches to package a new version. None of them get an answer from
you. Nobody will help debug an issue and build a patch on an 8 year old
software while there are new versions available.
