Well, sort of, but it's a bit out of control now.
There's no obvious solution. If Debian sticks to 1.0 on principle,
there's nothing we can do. It's unlikely we'll find a volunteer who
backports all those fixes to 1.0. I haven't found any commercial
distributor who still supports 1.0, either.
If we integrate 1.4 (that is, 1.4.2) into stable, we can take security
fixes from upstream and/or other distributors. It might still be a lot
of work (I'm going to try it next weekend or so), but it looks like a
more manageable task.
