Yes I'd definitely prefer to go 8.3 as well but there are a couple reasons for now I have to suck it up: - 8.2 is the one in the 7.10 repository. - I need plr as well and 8.3-plr debian package does not exist yet. (I know in both cases we could recompile and install it from there, but ...)
At least on debian it was quite easy to "backport" 8.3.3 from sid to etch using apt-get's source and build-dep functions. That way you get a normal installable package. I'm not sure, but given the similarity I would guess it won't be much harder on ubuntu. // Emil
