  It's too late for backporting a fix like this from experimental to
squeeze at this point, I don't think it would make it through the
release team, and I would have very little arguments to give. However,
I'm willing to upload a backport of 1.0 to squeeze-backports, should
it be necessary. (but I saw you were responsible for the lenny
backports; would you keep on going with them for squeeze ?)

  As of now, fop 1.0 is in experimental to avoid potentially
disturbing package builds, but I don't really think it more unstable
than the current testing/unstable version.

  Cheers,

      Vincent
