Bug#351385: balsa: Why not using upstream fixes ?

[Pierre M.]

Package: balsa
Version: 2.3.8-3
Followup-For: Bug #351385

Hello,

balsa v2.3.8-3 has just entered Etch after the 10 days delay. Cool, balsa is maintained in Debian.
But why packaging v2.3.8 instead of v2.3.10 or v2.3.12 ? Shouldn't 2.3.10 have closed at least 2 bugs instead of 1 ?
I don't understand. Is 2.3.12 more pain to package than 2.3.8 ?
Or is it a dependancy problem ?

BTW, DEHS has been updated :
