Well, the version in unstable is already newer which is why I chose to
upload to t-p-u, please see the debdiff of version 1.1+-1.2.
Oliver was hoping that the new upstream would fully address the
problem, however it fixed it only partly. The chdir built-in still
failed under certain circumstances. It has not been fixed until the
current upstream release, so unstable would need the latest upstream
version while Wheezy should get the version from t-p-u which just
contains my patch.
Cheers,
Adrian
