At the very least, this package needs a binNMU since the maintainer
uploaded a version (on i386) that was built against libraries in
experimental.

There's also this thing called a freeze.  This upload is multiple
upstream versions newer than the version in Lenny with no noted
important bug-fixes in the changelog, so I find it highly unlikely that
the release team would approve a disruptive exception.
