No; I've fixed up the versions and tags for you.

To clarify: I'm not looking favourably on this package.

I really do think this is better removed from Jessie. The difference
between the versions is huge and invasive, and we're just not at that stage
any longer.

It's not clear what the future of Whatsapp will be, and we don't want to be
patching up the API again in a point release (or even removing entirely).

I'm sorry, and I realise you'll be disappointed, but this is really isn't
a good fit for Jessie. I intend to remove it in a few days, unless I can be
convinced otherwise.

Thanks,
