The Debian folks have done lots of work to clean up a very large
collection of code to get it to build with 3.2.x. This eliminates
many of the bugs that Wolfgang is talking about, but not all, as there
are some invalid constructs that the new parser objects to that 3.2.x
accepts, but it does make life better.
