Just plain no, because the freeze affects Debian testing. Every package must be in testing at the time of the freeze. However, new packages are uploaded to Debian unstable, and unstable-to-testing migration was set to 10 days. Therefore, the deadline for new packages that should become a part of Jessie was last Sunday. That's why I submitted the first 1.4.99.2 package last Saturday, and another package with a small fix last Sunday. :-) So let's hope that no important bugs are found that would prevent the migration to testing for the 1.4.99.2 package. Otherwise, Jessie will be shipped with 1.4. Updates will only be allowed if they fix important bug, and only these bugs. As usual, New upstream versions won't be possible, fixes have to be backported. If you point me to critical bugs that affects users of the Debian package including a fix (or a git commit that contains the fix), I could try to provide updated packages. > It would be "cleaner" > to have a regular release in Debian, too. I know. It just didn't work out.
