OK, that is fine at the library API level, and is good news :) At the level of utilities that are used in scripts, and whose command line parameters are therefore in some sense an "API" for those who write scripts using them, the very recent (post 1.6.0) change to osis2mod that adds the -d option *already* broke "osis2mod API compatibility" :) I'd consider that kind of change an enhancement, rather than a bug fix. So even though I thought it was useful, I left it out of the SWORD 1.6.0+dfsg-1 packages...
