It seems that a new package, with support for upgrading from the 5.2.6
Debian Jessie release, will be out for testing in a couple of weeks,
so it might be that my issue will be solved then.  I love Debian for
being stable, but sometimes they need to push forward a little more
quickly, esp when upstream is evolving rapidly, but is also quite
isolated from other packages.

So I'll probably sit tight for a while and try an upgrade later this
month or in September to see how it goes.
