VLC 0.8.6a - Why hasn't the package been upgraded?

[Björn Johansson <khelben1979@telia.com>]

Greetings!

I have a working install of Debian Etch over here and it's installed on 
an Powerbook G3 "Lombard" and the version of VLC which is part of Debian 
Etch is still version 0.8.6a and I'm wondering why you people haven't 
done a package of version 0.8.6e yet?

I'm thinking of maybe trying to compile the source on my own, but I 
don't want to break the current installation of VLC, so, so far I 
haven't tried it.
