if the test to get into lenny is a guarantee that the API will be stable
forever, no package could pass.
It is really a matter of timing- is it expected that there will be new
stable release of the upstream package containing an API change in the
next 18 months, i.e. is the change currently in the development plans
now? Or is this a conservative warning that it /could/ change?
I find it totally understandable and expected that an upstream would not
guarantee that the API will not change in the future, but that doesn't
mean it is about to do so.
