Rob,

Thomas is an upstream kmymoney2 developer.  I forwarded the bug report 
upstream as it wasn't a specific Debian issue per se, but rather an upstream 
issue,

Thomas, advised that upstream aren't maintaining 0.6.4 anymore.

As far as Debian goes, the stable branch is only maintained for security 
updates, new versions of packages are not submitted.  As this is not a 
security issue it won't be fixed for sarge.

There are a couple of options available.  You could always backport the 
package from sid to work in a sarge environment. http://www.backports.org 
maybe able to assist here.

Or you could add a sid deb-src line to your apt/sources.list and then do 
something like:

# apt-get build-dep kmymoney2
# apt-get -b source kmymoney2

Or alternatively you could wait until the next stable release of Debian which 
should contain the updated version of kmymoney2.
