Installing this plugin currently breaks Mailman, at least the version in Wheezy/Sid, and possibly even Squeeze. And I mean "breaks" as in "prevents the basic tools such as the one to create a new list from running", because it replaces (with dpkg diversions) part of the implementation of Mailman internals with a patched version based on an old version of Mailman. The newer Mailman has a different API, so its tools use it, but the implementation is still based the old one, with the old API. Bam, crash. This needs to be fixed upstream. Preferably with a proper fix, and not a diversion of Mailman internals, otherwise we'll see the same problem at the next API change in Mailman.
