Can you give a few examples, if this is "a rather common case" ? Sometimes there are good reasons to not package a newer upstream release, see for example bugs 672568 and 687690. Sometimes the maintainer is simply gone, see for example bug 671890. Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
