our local radio is a happy user of the Liquidsoap version packaged within Debian
Jessie. Thus I need to insist, that these packages are indeed useful (at least
for us).

I fully support this assessment.
At least here we will stick with the version packaged within Debian as long as
it is technically feasible. For now I do not see problems in this regard.

But since Romain was previously the maintainer of the Debian package (thank you
for that!), I guess that he is well aware of the importance of available
Liquidsoap packaging for distributions.
The lack of up-to-date packages (e.g. within Debian) can obviously only be fixed
by someone dedicating his/her time for the packaging.

Cheers,
Lars
