So, I got around to looking there. They even have a deb file! But it's
dependent on recent libraries not in Potato (or Newton). So I try to compile
from source. But it's dependent on automake 1.5, which isn't in Potato.
Yes, I could install individual libraries, or just the newest automake --
except that because (for no reason I know of) everyone compiles their
packages against the very latest version of every library, upgrading one
package typically ends up meaning "upgrade to unstable". Why have a package
system that one routinely has to defeat in order to use the computer?
Does anyone want to say that Potato should be everyone's default choice?
Meanwhile Woody *still isn't frozen*. This is ridiculous.
