In KMyMoney 4.5-1 online banking does not work anymore for me:

kmymoney: onlinebanking not compiled in / enabled anymore?
http://bugs.debian.org/594553

So IMHO 4.5-1 packages are not suitable for testing or stable.

I also would prefer current 4.5-1 - with online banking -, since 3.9.8-1.2 
is a beta prerelease and has an annoying bug with a way to small window 
for selecting the time span for getting online balances. Its not critical, 
but if at all possible, I would really like a release version. I am 
willing to test it and report any and all bugs I find. I use it regularily.

It has been several times already that an upgrade of KMyMoney2 packages 
broke online banking. I would prefer a more robust upgrade experience - 
everytime I update KMyMoney I wonder, fear whether this might break online 
banking once again. I know these 4.5-1 are experimental packages, but from 
the posting here, I thought the only reason was that they aren't supposed 
to go into Squeeze.

I downgraded and online banking does work again.

Thanks,
