We tried upgrading paer to 2.6 but it didn't play well with the woody glibc
that is on the system (invoking ld.so directly in that combination caused
problems, and apparently quite a few things do that). So we downgraded to 2.4.
Once sarge is released we will upgrade the machine and switch to 2.6.

No there isn't. (as a rule debian.org machines always run stable)
Maybe someone on the list can give you a login on a box running
testing/unstable with a recent 2.6.
