Why must it be upgraded to 10.02? Arguments for this would be useful
when evaluating the current packages in Debian/testing. I notice a
new version is requested in <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/573802>, so
hopefully the maintainer will get it upgraded soon.

It also fail to work on thin clients, as it lack ALSA and Pulseaudio
support (only support OSS). Will remove it soon unless someone
protests.

Is there any better replacements? I tested it, and did not hear any
sound when testing it on Lenny. What do you mean by unstable?
Crashing (mine did not crash) or something else?

I do not understand this argument. What are "digital guitar effeckt
boxes"? Do we have such packages already installed? Or do you mean
that a voice tuner is low priority and can be dropped because very few
need it?

Gtick do not work on thin clients either, and should be ported to ALSA
and Pulseaudio. Not aware of any alternatives.
