You could do me a great favour if you go for the real thing,
i.e. get the packages from upstream CVS of which they know it is
compatible with 2.6. It is also my experience from the 2.5 transition
that there won't be too many packages affected. But it is not
on us to decide that, really, so I think.

If you are actively using the autodocktools then I am happy
for your contribution and expect you to deal with any problems.
If not, then I am too busy to be offended.

Many greetings
