Naturally, the version in testing and unstable, 1.6.0-1, doesn't
install as it depends on more recent versions than what is in
Debian 8 for libgnutls30, libncursesw5 and libtinfo5.

The version in experimental, 1.6.1-2, is even worse (wants a
newer libc6).

So much for that.

This will be the next step. Good point about build dependencies,
will need to find a way around that. I have a feeling that brute
force will be involved.

Thank you.
