Comment 24 for bug 1232694

Monsta, please keep in mind that we all (including Jonathan) volunteer in doing this. I assume he is to busy at the moment to upgrade the package. No offence, but if this isn't going fast enough for you, you should rather offer to take over maintenance for BIT Debian package by your self.
BTW there is an alternative with ppa:bit-team/stable which is maintained by Dan. Sure this is not for Debian. But while reading your name I assume you're on Mint which is based on Ubuntu. So you can use the PPA.

Kind regards,
Germar
