Comment 12 for bug 317564

I asked the Debian maintainer in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531366 why 1.6.x hasn’t moved out of Debian experimental yet, and got a detailed response. The three issues he mentioned look relatively minor, and the second isn’t an issue for Ubuntu (we already disable serf because it’s in universe), but we should be aware of them and of the fact that 1.6.x in experimental might not get updates as frequently as 1.5.x in unstable would.

I think we should still get 1.6.x into Karmic; there is plenty of time to work out any remaining issues. But if we want to stay with 1.5.x for now, we should at least merge 1.5.6 from testing/unstable (debdiff in bug 382002).
