Having attempted the back port of 2.0.3, I got as far as opal, and then
checked with Kilian Krause over a buglet in the debian src package.
After a few further explorations and help from Kilian, I decided that it
was a far larger job than I had realized. I gather that you too had
decided that a backport to sarge wasn't worth the effort given its short
remaining stable life.

As a result, I now need to restore my sarge box to a consistent state
which looks as if it will take some more time and effort :-)

So I won't be able to report further for the time being.
