Err, you're right. There is no change that would be causing incompatibilities,
hence my assertion was wrong. It does fix one or two memleaks and contain some
beautifications, but there aren't any API or ABI breakages.

So we can leave the situation as is, keep 0.95.3 in squeeze and newer versions
in sid only. Please feel free to tag this one as wontfix or close it (or tell me
to do so). I'll of course fix our packaging scripts to remove the autom4te
stuff.

Best regards,
Michael
