Thanks for picking this up so quickly! Some people had been bugging me about 
declaring it stable, because it fact interfaces are fixed now.

Yes, this was intentional to allow coexistance and clearly state that the 
interface is different.

Since the index files/directories were not compatible, I felt there was no 
need for this.

Since some people are definitely still using this, I would greatly appreciate 
if there were two packages for the next stable release of Debian! But if you 
think it's too much work to maintain, I would also understand that.

Thanks for maintaining this!
