The original intention was to wait for debian to package 0.83 in
unstable, and then sync it across. We want to release with 0.84 in
jaunty, which will be quite tight concerning the two release
schedules, but doable because 0.84 will release before jaunty.

Since debian's not updating to 0.83 but staying on 0.82 at this stage,
we need to check their plan and consider moving to 0.83 ourselves and
making our changes available back to them.

Please do file bugs against 0.82 in intrepid, as we need to support
that by fixing the bugs if possible... If you want to play with 0.83,
sugar-jhbuild is the best way for now. I do plan to get 0.83 into a
(different) PPA at some point in the near future.
