You're right.  I'm cc'ing Olly and Lazlo and hopefully they can help you. 
The bug report that the new version should be backwards compatible but if 
this is not the case we need to make sure the old package doesn't get 
removed. (Or that Maitreya can be updated.)

Btw, you may have noticed that Maitreya isn't updated for stable yet. 
That is all my fault but I hope to get it done soon.
