I'm not sure I'm going to like the answer, given the commit count you
mention below, but how large is the diff between what's currently in
squeeze and the proposed 1.0 packages?

Would that be 3.4.0.6+ds4-1, which is currently in experimental? (The
changelog suggests that +ds2-1 might be a more sensible comparison
point, but that doesn't appear to have ever been in the archive, so
isn't as easy to diff against).
