Hi Boruch, Help is always highly appreciated. I don't see the whole email thus I don't understand the reason for getting discouraged. I performed a quick search in my emails but I still don't have a clue. :-) Please copy the whole conversation to put me in context if the problem still stands.
Regarding meld I started maintaining it for the same reason (having too old version in Debian), but nowadays I think the package is in a pretty good shape. The 1.7.0 version you see on PTS is a development release and is not for wide redistribution [1]. 1.6.1, which is in testing and sid is the latest official release. In a few months Wheezy will become stable and for the meantime I did not plan making a backport for Squeeze, but later I plan providing up-to-date backports as well.
