Hi,
yes a backport for wheezy definitely makes a lot of sense as the 1.x
notebook is significantly better than the 0.x one. Thanks for doing it.

I am currently working on packaging 2.0 it should be almost ready,
though I still have trouble getting the testsuite to run reliably.
I'm not sure if a 1.x backport or a 2.x backport is better. Both
versions can read the same notebooks but 2.x controls different (model,
vim like).
Maybe having a 1.x backport and 2.x installable via testing/jessie is a
good way.
If you agree please go ahead and upload your backport.

Cheers,
Julian
