I=92m just a user, not a maintainer or developer, but IMHO it makes =
sense to provide debian packages for all versions, and only those =
versions, in the intersection of the two sets {supported by upstream} =
and {supported by debian}.  Anything outside of that intersection either =
adds work for the debian maintainers or would be useless to debian =
users.

Enjoy!
