Oh... Well, I have not really seen the arguments, but they may
exist. Regarding the backporting issue, I'm tempted to ignore it, even
if being a heavy internal-use backporter myself - After all, if there
is a behaviour change (I havent dug into debhelper's changes), we
_want_ to build packages with the newest upstream-recommended version
- which is currently 6.
...Else, we might also keep using standards-version 3.6.1 to keep
Sarge backporters happy :-)
