The upstream link makes it sound as if they are one of those upstreams
which reject the idea of distributions shipping an older release to
a stable distro. For a tool like radare2 that seems fair enough, so
how about simply excluding it from stable releases (and retroactively
drop it from Buster/Stretch in the forthcoming point releases)?
