Ok, so we do have some sort of consensus going now...

I was in favour of 3, but I suppose there's no real reason to be
shipping both 0.1.x and 0.3.x side-by-side other than the fact that
upstream labels 0.1.x as the stable branch, so 2 is fine by me as
well. My experience with supertux 0.3.x has so far been pretty stable,
but anectodal evidence probably isn't worth that much anyways.

However, as long as Christoph objects to it (e.g. [1]), I won't be
deviating from the status quo.

Vincent
