Well -- I do BUT non-official lazy backport and not sure if it wouldn't bring
havoc to other tools. at least that prev version caused  some FTBFS in stretch
when last I have tried then (see below). but if you like I could upload it to
e.g. -devel of the neurodebian repository.  Although still -- better to
build/make sure it works against sid at this point ;)
