I recommend to provide both versions of plink for the moment as the first
version is always widely used and the interface is not completely
compatible, some flags are not supported by the new version. The upstream
recommends to use the old plink for these flags. Moreover, the new version
is a major update (i.e. many algorithms changes) which could be problematic
for replicate some previous results for those using old plink.

I will push the new plink on git.debian.


Best regards,
Dylan
