thanks for doing that, Robert. Bummer that it didn't work.

well, Benno (from upstream) recommended 1.9.2 specifically, even though
1.9.2 isn't even their latest 1.9.x release (i think that'd be 1.9.6).
Maybe we should ask him why he proposed 1.9.2?

Sure, makes sense if we're cherry-picking patches. but if we're moving
to a new upstream version maybe this change is enough "in the noise" to
make it make sense to align the packaging strategy with the unstable
packaging strategy?
Not sure what the next steps are, but i appreciate your looking into
this and thinking about it, Robert. Users of Debian stable deserve to
have a non-crashy version one way or another.
