Debian testing/unstable are\nat v2.9.3, but Jessie is still on v2.1.4.\n\nI don't know the policy for cherry-picking patches to Debian stable\nreleases. I think only security fixes are done immediately, but\n\"important\" fixes get rolled into stable updates every few months.\nI don't know that this is \"important\", but it does point to information\nthat grew stale outside of the release's control, and as a trivial\ndocumentation-only change, it shouldn't cause a regression.\n\n+cc Jonathan, who works on git packaging for Debian.\n\n-Peff\n"}]}
