If it's safe to switch on the old ones as well, it sounds doable. If
we need different toolchains, that's going to be a serious pain. Have
you verified that it's fine with the old ones as well, or are you jsut
assuming?

Second, when you say "the latest debian package", you mean grab the
one from sid? I didn't see anything in backports, but maybe I'm
missing something?
