I suppose I'm just wondering if there will be a new package soon. IIRC
the freeze is in January this time, and if there isn't a new package
put into sid soon, it won't make Wheezy in time, and the current
version in testing is unusable (at least for me). If the devs are
worried about stability can they at least apply a few of the patches to
fix the current version? I would be glad to help, but I don't really
know how.
