Re new upstream package, it would be *very* nice if you would be able
to test and smoothen the upgrade path from woody-pg to sarge-pg (sid-pg)
as well. I've done a release upgrade before which resulted in a complete
desaster with the daemon not even starting. I've heard reports from other
people who experienced at lest critical problems with an upgrade as well,
contrary to my hope that my problems were triggered by sunsport or something
less common.
