I agree: current version in sid was meant for sarge as well, for these
reasons:
* Testing time was lacking only on arm (and no more).
* libgd-noxpm-perl (built from exact same source) is in sarge.
* Latest changes was regresssion test fixes only (and better packaging)
* The actual binary code has been unchanged for 2 years!
Personally I always use libgd-noxpm-perl instead of libgd-noxpm-perl,
but I have not yet succeeded convincing all depending packages to loosen
up their dependencies (causing me to use hacked "sideports" of those
packages for my own systems) so in fact this does cause problems for
some packages (because of too strict package dependencies only - I know
of no Debian package actually using XPM-support in GD).
Cc'ing the release-managers to let them know the situation...
