In theory, table-driven code or at least good modularity can be a way
to minimize the damage from changing facts of life on unrelated
aspects of a program's functionality.

In practice, isn't taxbird dead and therefore unlikely to change at
all in the future?  I think if we include it in wheezy, we should
include the newest packaged version.
