Hi Roberto,

thanks and I agree with all you wrote. But also be aware that not all critics 
is bashing and not everybody has the skills and/or time to actively help to 
backport the necessary packages. I do not intend to bash anybody, I understand 
that Debian is based on volunteer work (which is tremendous), and I hope that 
you consider the feedback as constructive.

What I am missing is transparency, but it might be my fault that I just do not 
find the right information. What would help me feeling more comfortable with 
the situation is 

1) a statement which is informing the users through a Debian channel about the 
thread before that appears on Linux Blogs/news channels. Even now I have not 
seen any comment on this topic. I am subscribed to the what I think are the 
relevant Debian channels for Debian users (and some more).

2) an estimate for the ETA. That would it make easier for me to decide if I 
can just wait for the update or if I need to work on another solution myself.


Regards
Rainer
