Why policyd from 2007 in squeeze?



The version of policyd in squeeze is showing a version number 1.82.
The files in the tar from that version of the project show dates of 2007.

Does anyone know of reasons Debian Squeeze is holding back on
the move to the 2.0 version?  I understand it is a re-write - is the upgrade
path the only concern, or are there reasons to expect 2.0 needs time
to mature or become more stable?

In many other cases like this, Debian would provide both versions,
and allow the legacy cases to be supported, while new deployments
could opt for the newer version.
