[ jaw drops... ] Debian Stable is shipping 7.2.**1**?

You might want to get yourself a more responsibly managed distro.
I won't necessarily argue with someone's decision to stick on the
7.2 major release, but not to adopt 7.2.* bug fixes is mere insanity.
7.2.1 was released more than three years ago and has multiple known
data-loss and security issues.
