I *do* understand the 'megafreeze' policy of all the distros who release
twice a year, however, could you please explain me:

1. How is this "too many changes", as long as there is no new
dependency, but a mere recompiling of an updated source package?

2. Why can't this be pushed as an update, or possibly as a backport as a
last resort? Note that this is in "universe", so Ubuntu does *not* need
to support it.

3. Why can't "per case" decisions be taken, knowing that there is so
very unlikely to experience regressions with such a package, and it is
*not* a "fundamental" package anyway?

At times, the packaging policies of the mainstream distros are making me
crazy!
