What breaks? Please be more specific!

It is actually quite relevant because it is up to the upstream developer which 
configurations
they support and which not. There is an endless number of Linux distributions 
and desktop
environments, so it's naturally impossible to support all of them.

It's not broken beyond usability. It works for me perfectly fine. There is no 
guarantee
you though that it will work in your particular configuration. And, as you can 
read from
the license, Debian comes with absolutely no warranty whatsoever, so I am not 
sure what
you are expecting.

Errm, you shouldn't be installing packages from unstable on a stable system [1].

FWIW, I am merely packaging the software for Debian. I am not the upstream 
developer. If
you have problems with the software itself which is not related to packaging, 
you should
direct your bug reports upstream.

Unfortunately though, upstream actually does not officially support Linux, so 
they don't
really care if it breaks. Thus, if you are really so annoyed by the software 
not working
on your particular system, I am happy to request a removal of the package from 
the Debian
archive mirrors so that I don't have to bother with such entitled bug reports 
anymore.

Thanks,
Adrian
