The bug doesn't *exist* in 2.03, which is why Debian still has that
version. 2.10 adds features, but not core functionality, and the
lack of the latest version number is not something I consider a fatal
flaw.
I don't see a reason to change the version of TileCache in Debian.
(Once there's a new release of TileCache, it makes sense to package
it for Debian, but this is irrelevant to Squeeze.)
