[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] bitcoin package in experimental, not unstable (resend)

I see that we have 0.8.1-1 in experimental, an ancient version
(0.3.24~dfsg-1~bpo60+1) in squeeze-backports, and 0.7.2-3 in
unstable.

Is 0.3.24~dfsg-1~bpo60+1 really safe to use in production ?

What is the reason for keeping unstable at 0.7.2-3 ?  AFAICT it is
affected by a number of CVEs which 0.8.1-1 isn't.  (The CVEs look
pretty minor TBH and are probably not RC IMO.)

Should 0.8.1-1 be sent to {squeeze,wheezy}-backports ?

Ian.
