Summary: in #354355, it has been reported that the current version in etch
is the same than in sarge and it's so severly outdated that upstream can
no longer support it security wise and that upstream developers would
prefer having no sympa package at all instead of having this outdated
version.
After several rounds in experimental, the maintainer managed to get a
working package of sympa 5.2.3 with the help of Jean-Charles Delepine.
Please unblock sympa/5.2.3-1 (which is otherwise ready to go in) to solve
this bug in etch.
Done; an update of this magnitude wouldn't normally qualify for a freeze
exception, but having followed the bug discussions, it looks like the only
other option at this point would be to drop the package from etch -- an
option that is still open to us anyway if the new sympa doesn't work out.
Thank you very much for your assistance!
