 That's one thing - Debian _seems_ to prefer patching older versions of various
 apps instead of moving to newer versions.  Even the stuff in their testing
 pool has several debian specific patches, most of the time. [I dont use
 debian, saw this on a friend's debian box once, so I may well be wrong]

 You might want to get the source in deb format from the testing pool and apply
 the compressed folder and other patches to it.
