It's up to you, of course, but I'm not quite sure that's a good idea.

Well, portability problems are difficult to take care of, and you, as
a Debian developer, may very well be in a better situation than Bruno
Haible to get in touch with vict^H^H^H^Hbeta testers.
Bruno, do you have any comments?
Thanks to both of you,
