Ouch.

I have looked at the differences between 6.0.3-5 and 6.0.3+dfsg-0.1. They
don't look that difficult. I have some experience with repackaging because
I'm doing that in other packages (witty, jquery-jplayer) and a ready-made
script that I can adapt with little effort. Tomorrow, I will try to port
the changes in 6.0.3+dfsg-0.1 to 6.2.7-1 with that script, but only for ACE.

TAO... well, if you could give me more details on what will go to non-free
(only tao-idl?) and what will go to contrib (all the other TAO packages?),
I can try to have it for Jessie.
