Well, actually no, we preferred to stay with a couple of simple small
hacks, to avoid introducing too many changes.

Indeed, please keep debian-accessibility@ up to date about what you are
working on, so we can avoid duplicating work :)

There is no strict rule, the maintainer is completely free to skip
versions, take an upstream snapshot, etc.  I don't know what XFCE
maintainers are used to be doing.  You can for instance have a look at
the upload history on
