I don't think that we need to repackage or hack it if the aim is trying
to push it into debian. since the requirements are in both stable and
unstable
the problem'll be testing the packages. I can fire a request to package
bug report and ask for a sponsor on debian mentors. But still the same
problem. How can it be tested ?
But if the aim is to provide a woody package for now then i think that
the hack is required.
