I'll address these concerns in a reupload.

Unfortunately, if we are basing on the precise-proposed package, we have to use 1.6.1-1+ubuntu0.2

I'll increment the precise version, but it wasn't mistakingly accepted, see below:

I had previously gotten approval to base off of what is in -proposed. In
any case, -proposed will move to -updates on Monday.
