Not 100% sure, you have to try it. It is part of the latest micro, 6.2.6.

Yes, it is way behind, we are in fact already at 6.2.6, our latest micro 
release. On OpenSuSE Build we do have some debian packages, see 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/ACE:/micro/

I don't have spare time to sort this out, please grab the latest micro.

I have tried to get some guidance on how to upgrade ACE on Debian, would 
be great if we could include it in the release instructions.

Best regards,
