Hi,

We stick to Debian stable to avoid maintaining security updates by
hand, except for a very few packages that we maintain manually or get
from active backports.org packages (see "manually maintained packages"
in the wiki).

The fact it was just released makes me fear we'll run into troubles.

This means that the one who install it will have to commit to its
security updates and user support - not me :p
