I have changed my mind: Makes sense for Debian to include Janus in its 
stable releases despite upstream lack of official support for that. 
Januss codebase is at least as stable if not more than a lot of other 
code that we ship with Debian stable, uncoordinated from upstream 
maintenance promises.
