Fire away.

I'm not the official debian maintainer, of GnuCash, or any other package.
I am however a debian user with an interest in GnuCash working for me. :-)

I've not contacted the maintainer, I believe he is active to some degree
(although I know no more than anyone else on the #gnucash channel).

Basically, they're working versions, which the ones in the unstable feed
aren't.

Having said that, John Goerzen has let me know that the problem has now
been fixed, so my packages shouldn't be needed.

Ah well. :-)
