Ok, ax25-* are probably the most important packet mode packages we have, so
now things are becoming more stable, I think I'm happy to backport these
once we've packaged the newer versions in testing so that they can be
available in jessie-backports.

I'm away next week at MiniDebConf, but if you can squash some bugs and make
an rc or a release upload, I'll package it all in Debian testing the
following week.
I'd rather not backport a package based on a git commit, it really would
have to be a tagged "release".
If you're able to comment on any of the bugs we have in Debian, that would
also be great:
https://bugs.debian.org/ax25-apps
https://bugs.debian.org/ax25-tools
https://bugs.debian.org/libax25

Conveniently, I am the Debian Maintainer.

No problem. I'm pretty busy myself at the moment. I can always find time,
just never know when I'm going to find it.
Thanks,
