Minor changes are OK.  You'll note there are some small differences between 
stable and oldstable right now.  Ideally we'd avoid those, but I don't mind 
making small changes.  I do mind modernizing the package and ending up with 
needing to use something radically different in oldstable.

All built for oldstable and stable too, the SUA will go out today and they'll 
be released.

I also sent out a call for translations for the updated template files.
