As a consumer of the Debian package, I say stick with what you're
doing and let Debian go stale for a while. It's their freeze so they
should be the ones to suffer the consequences, not you guys. Most
people probably know about Debian's annoying policy and have
workarounds in place where needed anyway (like using Roberto's
personal repository).
