Thanks for the clarification.  I'll second these comments saying that
that nothing will happen before the release of 1.40.  John and I exchanged 
emails yesterday conserning the open Debian bugs against Bacula (in the 
Debian bugs database), which I am looking at, and he is well aware of the 
coming 1.40 release and will surely package it as soon as it is out.
