This bug is #1023205 but I note there has been no response so far.

I would like to be able to use the new 6.00-1 version in stable as the 
existing version there does not work on many systems, modern but also 
even those 5+ years old. I think there is a good argument for including 
in a stable update, but either way can we get a decision and have it 
available in stable proposed updates or backports soon?

Thanks,
