 The version currently in testing, 2.9.1, is built with hacks, has UI 
 problems as a result (I filed a bug which was reasonably closed wontfix 
 about this) and has bugs and missing features compared to the current 
 version; hence, allowing the current version into testing is an 
 improvement all round.
 

A comprehensive user :-)

OK, i agree with the severity lowering. I will apply the correction that
the upstream proposed to me : explain in README.Debian that using unison
on removable media in batch mode is unsafe (it is enough specific to
lower the bug severity).

FYI, i will begin to work on a correction of this ASAP (ie when i will
have made my other package enter etch with a decent version number).

Kind regard
Sylvain Le Gall
