Er.
* Revert to upstream 2.4.1 to get this compiled & working against lenny
libxcrypt (closes: Bug#487487).
Why in the world, with that changelog entry, did the build-deps get changed
to point to a sid-only version of libxcrypt in the first place?
Also, why do you propose to address this by adding an epoch to a library
(which is never good), instead of fixing the libxcrypt build problem in
unstable and getting that unblocked?
