Generally the Tryton maintainers are very strict with the backport of fixes from
trunk into release branches. Which means, that only 'real' bug fixes are merged
into a release branch, but never features. Additionally new releases are only
done on really important and well tested fixes. So generally it is always in the
interest of the user to run the latest release.
For the special case of release 1.6.1:
Release 1.6 contained some heavy rewrites and cleanup of version 1.4.
Unfortunately there was lost just one really important functionality of 1.4 in
1.6.0, which made unluckily this release almost unusable for some special
implementations relying on this functionality. This essential fix (besides
important others) is included in 1.6.1 and should be contained by all means in
the next Debian stable release.
Summary:
Version 1.6.1 contains essential fixes, that should be included any case in
squeeze.

Mathias
