So, if I could shape that into a sort of question: under what
circumstances would Debian stable users need to *compile* (as
opposed to fetching a binary) *new* versions of Darcs?

For the new bit, I think it would be if we were ever to release
a version of Darcs that fixed some crucial bug (say a pending
patch issue).

For the compile bit, could we get away with some sort of
backport that people could install?
