Well .. The great of having the unofficial packages in PPA is to provide a newer version that help us testing so we can fix things before move to Debian Unstable so giving us a better Cherokee Package for Debian and Ubuntu. That's the reason to be for debian unstable or Cherokee Package from PPA And as we know the Cherokee Package from PPA or any package from debian unstable can break at any time. >> I know for the Ubuntu/Debian packages we must make sure that we don't >> break any thing in the upgrade on stable releases. >> >> And this is what the PPA and Debian Unstable is meant for. see what we >> can >> fix before it enters on the next stable release.

Nothing else. I know that and you must know I've said I'll fix that error for the debian package.
