We are currently in a very late freeze, and the changes are much to
large to qualify for a freeze exception. In general the version of
darktable in Debian stable will always be out of date, because the
camera support in darktable is changing very quickly.

I will make a backport when I can. This needs either
jessie-backports-sloppy to be created, or jessie to be released. The
former is in the control of the backports team (more or less) and the
latter has been announced for this month.
