Jan, thank you for your report. I've already been testing upstream git for quite a while. Most bug tickets in Debian were informed to test the package from http://oss.leggewie.org/deb/ so that I know which bugs become resolved by the new upstream. I plan to release the git version to experimental soonish although I would be happier if upstream made normal releases (even if bugfix only).
