Two patch levels (2.2.9 vs. 2.2.7) is fallen by the wayside?  Really?  It 
looks like some of those changes even got integrated into the package -- there 
was an NMU for it (Debian revision 2.1).

Depending on the scope of patch level changes on this project (x.y.z -> x = 
Major, y = Minor, z = Patch level), I don't think missing a few is a big deal.
