Fedora / Debian tossup?

I wonder when version 0.9.7 will find its way into Debian unstable.  What I have read suggests
it is substantially more mature than the 0.9.6 found there now.

The mass of backward-compatibility hacks the pulseaudio developers have provided, to make it
easy to switch, is nothing short of astounding.  It's as if Henry Ford delivered not just a
car, but also a hay-to-gasoline cooker, a road paver, traffic lights, and an autopilot.  I've
successfully avoided esound, jack, nas, etc., but I'm almost looking forward to pulseaudio.
