Is there a good way to handle this high > turnover in the debian archive? Perhaps you can be interested in 'updates'. See here: https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates. But I think that your package can be kept in a conventional stable version. There is Debian-Backports[1] too. I use it. Your package is good for me now. Can I upload it?
