Unfortunately, this request demonstrates our dislike for making
decisions that people will dislike. In any case, I think it's clearly
too late to be accepting the new versions of the packages in to wheezy.
We could therefore do with input from interested parties as to which is
the better solution betwen shipping the versions of ekiga et al
currently in wheezy, or no versions at all. This may (or may not) be
influenced by:
