While this is an untypical (*not* *bad* - just unusual and probably
sane) request (normally upstream wants the latest and greatest version)
I will support whatever you regard as reasonable.  For me it is fine to
pin 0.8 to unstable via a fake-RC bug.  However it might become a bit
tricky to get an imaginary 0.7.9 or so through to testing in case you
are applying some fixes.  So we might decide to wait until Debian is
really frozen before I upload 0.8.x packages.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
