Well, we won't support anything more than what /we/ want to. I won't
maintain any older version than what we decide. From the last discussion
we had about that policy, we finally came to a consensus for the v6.3.2
(stable) as the release to maintain in the long run.

I still think it's a good point to start from: not too much mess done in
the code and a better knowledge of that code (since the maintainer
migration).

The debian policy is NOT ours. They can do whathever they want (while
legal) with their packages, _I don't CARE_.  We live in a free world.
So, if debian maintainers rather do silly things (includeing things in
plain contradiction with the security issue /they raised/) , I will let
them do.
                    I'm also free to laugh at the clown.
