Another update for those interested:

0.1.5 was released and uploaded, but got rejected due to missing snippet in debian/copyright. That was promptly updated, but has been sitting in the NEW queue for 1 month.

Since earlier this summer, upstream has made a lot of progress in fixing issues. 0.5.2 is the current version, and packaging is already ready to go in git to be uploaded after 0.1.5 is accepted.

There are a lot of issues with 0.1.5, so I would recommend anyone testing to test with the version in git instead.
