In sarge, we have 0.13.4-5. This version is not a development version,
it is just horribly outdated.

In sid, I decided to use the development branch of rdiff-backup because
it already contains the patches applied upstream instead of pulling them
into the diff.gz myself. As soon as there is a 1.2.x release, I will
possibly switch back to rdiff-backup stable releases.

You mean, rdiff-backup stable and unstable release. But.. the one
remaining in testing is just a question of time before it is replaced by
the migrated sid version. So, there is no rdiff-backup stable release in
debian (except sarge, but sarge does not ship the current stable release
of rdiff-backup either). So what is actually the problem then?

Besides.. for sarge you can use my packages at backports.org which are
always in sync with the packages in sid.
