Oh no, not for official release, but there is already a libopensync1exp7
package in debian unstable which is out of date, and with 0.22 gone in
Debian, there's no harm anymore in 0.39 staying in the unstable and
experimental trees.

I don't want to see any distro including 0.39 in official releases.
This is for testing.  Users would test things for us if there
were binary packages available.  Right now I end up on IRC trying to
help people compile, or trying to figure out why old binary packages
don't work. :-)
