At the moment the only way is to download intermediate S3QL versions and
use them to upgrade in several steps. There is a chance that all
required versions are available on snapshot.debian.org, but I haven't
checked.
I agree that this is unfortunate, but preserving backwards compatibility
over so many upstream versions just for Debian wheezy users did not seem
worth the time.
Theoretically, it is possible to do all the upgrades in one step and
integrate that into Jessie's s3ql package, but that would be a major
coding effort.
I guess it would have been better to package S3QL 2.x as a new s3ql2
package instead of it replacing the s3ql package. But I don't think
there is a way to recticify that now - or is there?
Best,
