If 0.22 could return to Squeeze, that would be great.  Let me know
how I can help, because that would make my life easier.

I think it is less about progress made or not, and more about having an
automated system for creating binary packages for people who just want
to run a quick test and help developers.

That's something I didn't know... so perhaps Debian unstable is the
wrong place to do this package work.  It is just a prime target, because
Debian is a great place to get software. :-)  When I saw 0.39, I assumed
great things.
