Ahh - I see now the original bugreport.

Lenny is oldstable.  There will be no official Debian packaging of any 
newer Sympa release included with Lenny.

Great that you guys work on making it work anyway unofficially, but 
please do not file bugreports about it - even wishlist ones.  Either 
work on yur own or - highly preferred - join us in developing the 
official packaging.

We can always use more helping hands here in the team :-D

We can then backport the existing official packaging for those older 
releases that you use.  Should be little added effort.
