So your options are
 - do not run a hidden service
 - wait for a few weeks or months until 0.1.1.x becomes stable and
   I upload it to sid
 - use 0.1.1.x now (from experimental or my backports archive

Also, Tor continues to be as fine as ever for people who don't offer
hidden services, so maybe grave is a bit strong.
