There are no known problems.  It's just untested and unproven.

I'll be happy to build 1.6.4 backported packages if you would
like to test them.  Or if you want to build them yourself,
it's just a matter to rebuilding the 1.6.4-3 package from
unstable; no source changes should be necessary AFAIK.


Thanks,
