Yes there is, and yes it is.  Which is why we've settled on 0.7.1
for distro packages at present.  And tried to coordinate that with
other distros.

Or it might have made sense to assume the talking to upstream bit
had already taken place ;)

There may never be another celt package now and it quite likely won't
be included in Wheezy as such.  But if you're interested in testing
the bleeding edge of it, then I do encourage you to grab upstream git
and run all the tests you can think of.  The bitstream is currently
being frozen for Opus, so this is your last chance to find problems
before they become permanent.  The distro isn't the place to do that
sort of experimenting though.

You can see this report I posted earlier for more details on that:
http://bugs.debian.org/610980

Probably it will be the next 'celt update' that we foist upon the
other packages in the distro now.  At least if all continues to plan.
If someone has a really good reason we could push some updated celt
packages to experimental in the meantime, but I'm not really aware of
anything much that would help at this stage.

Best,
Ron
