That's what I thought, but what do we do about the 'moving target'-argument?Dont put it into Debian. We have enough problems with keeping some libs in different stable release versions in Debian.
Thats certainly another option. You could just create a deb that violates the Debian Policy but is installable anyway. Problem might be that you have to have your own repo or some repo to host it at. You might be able to get it into Ubuntu.
