Hi Nikos,

2.0.8.1 is the latest maintenance release in the 2.0.x series. It
contains only bug fixes and the only new code is the ability to support
2.1.x file format. Thus it's very stable. On the other hand, 2.1.0 is
all new code with new (better) features and, of course, less stable and
a little buggy.

Maybe you could package 2.1.0 in unstable or experimental for now, and
at a later time, could you package 2.0.8.1 for stable-backports or
stable-updates?

Thanks a lot,

Amr
