Hi Mike,
I believe I'll package only stable releases of gthumb for Debian. It has lots of
bugs in Debian, which I'm trying to catch/solve/triage, and it would be a
problem having a buggier bleeding edge version :(. I wish gthumb had fewer bugs
filed :'(.

Julien: I believe we all want to wait for 2.11.0 to implement this, no? :) If
you really need it, I might package a trunk version of gthumb and put it on a
personal repository.

Kindly,
David
