In case it is not clear, it is not that a new version of the software,
is not available for Debian 6 - it is that the software that was
available for Debian 6, that, as I previously said, worked quite
happily, was killed suddenly, without just cause.
It is a bit like a street sniper, killing of members of the public -
"Why did you kill that person? That person did you no harm." "Because
I can, and, because I like doing it."
