I am very happy to see your concerns about support of your software, I wish more developers cared like you did. It is possible to keep the package only in unstable, except for versions that you decided to officially support long-term, if any. There can be a bug in the Debian BTS with a "serious" severity saying "Not intended to be included on a stable Debian system". If you wish, the bug can document that if one is interested in having vdirsyncer in Debian stable, they can offer to coordinate with you helping upstream development and doing the work of providing long term support for specific releases. Would that be acceptable? Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
