The Debian packaging scripts need a major overhaul for the .stripped
work.  I will not have time for this until a week from Friday (that's
the 20th).  This does not *have* to hold the release but I would
prefer that it did, because it is likely that I will find changes
needing to be made in the code proper, or at least the documentation.

I believe 7.4 is the minimum for functionality, yes.
