In practice, isn't taxbird dead and therefore unlikely to change at all in the future? I think if we include it in wheezy, we should include the newest packaged version.Yes.

If it's already dead, is there any point shipping it in Wheezy at all? 3+ years of support, without any guarantee we can rely on upstream, is a long time. Not shipping it will not result in it being removed from upgraded systems.
