Given that there won't be TL2008 in lenny, I think it would be very desirable to update xetex to a more recent version than 0.996 as shipped with TL2007. This would provide several important bug-fixes and improve compatibility with certain latex packages (I don't know much about the context situation). If you stay with the TL2007 release, it will quickly look quite stale compared to other distributions that are around, and will frustrate users when features that others are using don't work for them. If you're willing to consider this, I can make and tag a branch in our Subversion repository to give you a stable version to use (you'll need to use that rather than the TL repository). Let me know if I should do that. Don't try to grab the latest code from my TRUNK, as that's sometimes a bit too experimental.
