Speaking for myself, I think I have enough todo.

What we do for Wheezy is to take the upstream and package it together what we
have in unstable. Doing this looks less work than keeping track of everything.
That said you could take Wheezy branch und use the "old" init scripts what you
have in Squeeze. The problem with the newer init scripts is that pkill and
friends don't work properly (or at all).
Maybe you can team up with Ubuntu. Their LTS (lucid and precise) should be
about the same age as Squeeze and they have 0.98.6 packaged.
Scott has probably more details on this.

This is my feedback. You may want to wait for Scott & Andreas.
