Well, it seems that nobody even downloaded or looked at source of the
beta packages i released.
There is absolutely nothing to worry, the only thing is that i managed
to have most of our changes incorporated upstream, except these two,
which will have to stay for now as debian patches :

But i hope that even those two, together with the suffix thing will
become unecessary in the _UPSTREAM_ 3.08 release.
Shame on you all for not looking at the code before asking such obvious
questions :))))
