I'd prefer not. Official Debian package is usually outdated due to
Debian policy of accepting new versions. I think having it will allow
users to build the package more easily and furthermore I still hope to
provide the current packages on www.gnokii.org.

Well, it wasn't that different at 0.6.12 release. I still use it for
preparing packages for Ubuntu. BTW. Does official Debian package still
contain outdated copyright file? ;-)

take care,
