Usual disclaimers apply, and note that different debs with the same version number will be uploaded to Debian. If you have any problems I'd like to hear about them, though.
The fact that the packages have the same version as future Debian packages _is_ a problem, since it will prevent APT from automatically upgrading to the Debian packages when they become available. Why not fix this by using a version number like 6.8.1-0igloo1 instead of 6.8.1-1?
Unfortunately this is one more thing for me to forget to change when making newer packages, so I don't do it. Sorry.
By the way, is there any progress on getting 6.8.1 into Debian?
I am making progress, yes.
Thanks Ian
