Bug#798500: drush package upgrade



Hello Antoine,


I use drush for my Drupal setups and have a dependency on it. I see
that the version in Debian is 5.x, where as on the upstream page, even
6.x is marked EOL. So I guess the Debian one has no support from anyone
other than Debian ?

I'll see if I can pick it up. I've been just a mere user of drush so
far.

One question for you. Drush upstream seems to be well aligned with
Drupal releases. With the current 8.x release, does it work with older
drush/drupal versions ?

I mean Drush 5.x working with Drupal 8.x and vice versa ?
If it does, what are the usual complications.
