As soon as upstream does their next release i will, but i am in close
contact with upstream on picking the snapshots and they have also a
quite big testsuite integrated. One of the upstream developers is also a
DD and also my sponsor, so choosing Git snapshots should not be
considered as a sign of unstablility but rather of a strong upstream
relation.

For the testing on precise, i started all this effort because i wanted a
current version of the package in Ubuntu LTS. Therefore i also tested
every version i pushed to Debian with pbuilder and precise. I also did
all my manual UI testing on precise and lucid.

But i have to admit that there was a testsuite issue on precise
(compiling itself was fine) when building on the PPA builders, but that
have already been fixed with a new version that will go to sid right
now. So in case there should be the same issue with upstreams QA suite
on the regular builders, there is already a fix in the pipe if necessary

So IMHO the package is now in much better shape than the one in Ubuntu
now, it's also much easier to maintain and i am willing to take all
necessary actions to give it a smooth landing in precise.
