Hi James,

an upload to Experimental would be easy, but we are still trying to make
a Stable update, and this requires Sid and Testing to stay at the old version.

This said, I just proposed to give up on the Stable update, so maybe things
will move forward soon.

Would it be enough to use Ubuntu's version 0.7.7~bzr1149 for our Debian package?

Have a nice day,
