I'm still not sure about how long we should keep old versions maintained. Our insterest is that packagers move on to newer versions in order to speed up the process of making new (and exciting!) features available. I'm thinking about three years for now (which means three stable versions). This is based on the Debian model, but without any further thinking.
If you had any advice about what is right an wrong about long term maintenance, please feel free to answer this mail.
On a shorter term note, the bug submitted by Roberto is now fixed in the 6.0 branch. I'll tag a version tomorrow.

After looking more into the issue, it seems that list_data
disappears because
i) the Debian package configure the code without the --expldir option
_and_ with the fhs option
ii) in the upstream source, in configure.ac, when choosing fhs, the
value of expldir does not contain the list_data subdirectory
Hence, it seems that this nees fixing upstream, but I hand in a
one line patch to allow testing the results (to test, you need
to configure at least one virtual robot).
