I think MPD 0.21 is still very new, and I'm not sure there's enough time
for it to stabilize enough so we can have a version included in buster
by late January that will remain largely unchanged for the lifetime of
that release. MPD 0.20 on the other hand is mature and well-tested, and
since you say 0.21 will probably break some clients I wonder if we
shouldn't pick the "boring" route and go with 0.20 for buster?
