The current package is already synced (unchanged) to Ubuntu afaik ... > We haven't done any testing with earlier Opus (decoding is done on a > different platform) and don't want to risk issues from running the > older version. There really should be no issues with this at all. If we were aware of any we: a) wouldn't have shipped this version at all. b) would be pushing to have it updated in Wheezy. The corollary of which is, if you have any issues with it, then please do report them! > That way I don't have to worry about needless deltas or issues with > my own packaging, and can more easily flow code back to you :) Then yeah, the best way to do that will be to run with what we currently have. There's nothing magically shinier about 1.0.1 - that was just a snapshot of the current head from the day when the RFC copy-editing was finally completed and signed off on. A day to celebrate certainly, but not some magic milestone in the source code itself. There are already updates to it pending release too, which is why I'm letting upstream QA run its course before pushing out new packages. If you're testing for production use, then definitely the best thing you can do is test the proposed stable release for Wheezy rather than "something newer" which I expect will itself have a half-life of just a few weeks and never go into a stable distro release anywhere.
