Haven't checked that and am not sure where to look for it.  Would you
have a URL for that version of that particular '.deb' file?  (Guess I
picked the wrong time to recently clean up my formerly crowded
'/var/cache/apt/archive'.)

Unfortunately that seems difficult today; to upgrade nautilus requires 
'apt-get' removing several packages I'd like to keep.  Usually after
waiting a few days or weeks 'unstable' settles down and allows painless
upgrades, but right now 'unstable' is... unstable.

Thanks for the prompt reply, and sorry that my answers above are so
tentative.  Once it's possible to test either version, (old etch, or
new unstable), I'll be happy to try one or both...
