I've been able to run 7.9.15 flawlessly on Squeeze for a couple of
months now. But it required no less than half a dozen Perl modules not
in Squeeze that are Build-Depends for the three Perl modules not in
Squeeze either that are Depends for webgui 7.9.
I agree it's going to be a very hard transition to 7.9, so I'm dropping
my freeze exception request for it.
Regarding 7.8, two of the RC bugs I fixed in 7.9 can be backported to
the 7.8.24 package currently in Squeeze. However, the potential security
vulnerabilites aren't, to the extent of my WebGUI expertise; I'm going
to check with upstream to see if that's possible, and if it is it will
be with a quilt patch.
It will take me a couple of days before I either upload 7.8.24-2 (hi
gregoa!) or ask for webgui's removal from Squeeze.
