I've adopted the package.
You are right, the latest upstream claims support for guile 1.8.
But I'm thinking it might make sense to actually *compile* this source
code at build time, emitting a binary, and distributing that in the
binary package.
In any case, the version of jacal currently in debian can use a variety
of underlying scheme interpreters, so if it can't work with the guile
package in debian at some particular point in time, that's not the end
of the world. I don't think it is worth keeping guile 1.6, or even
guile 1.8, in the archive, just for the sake of jacal.
