Dear Keith and Ryan,

Thank you for sending this. I had also noticed that development
releases had slowed down significantly a while back.

There is a bug report asking for 1.1.alpha to be packaged [1], so I
think a sensible plan might be to get a mildly-patched 1.0.3 into
unstable and then consider uploading the current alpha into
experimental?

I wonder if there are there any other standalone commits post 1.0.3
that might also be worthwhile patching in? Let me look into this this
week.

Thanks,
Nick
