It was meant for testing, but unfortunately the issues with it turned
out to be more serious than I thought, which is why I decided to stick
with an older version for now.

It was already in experimental, and it went to unstable at the point
when it seemed it had enough of testing, but it turned out it didn't. As
for the epoch, I'm not sure it's a good idea, as the package already
uses it in a bit inconsistent way (for one of the binary packages only).

On the other hand, all fixes I'm including are backports of fixes
included in the version currently in unstable.
