Kolab on Debian etch

Hello,

I'm currently evaluating / installing Kolab at work on
Debian etch
based systems.

There seem to be various options, each with its own
drawback.

* Compile from source ( openpkg )

  I usually try to keep within the official debian packages
to get the
  benefit of clean upgrades and quasi-automatic security
updates.

  If that's what I need to do, ok. I'd just prefer not to.

* Use the kolab packages from etch

  They seem to be quite outdated. See
  http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-kolab-devel
lists.alioth.debian.org

* Use the kolab packages from "unstable"

  I tried that last week: I got the basic system up
(slapd/cyrus were
  simple, the webinterface needed massaging (php4 vs. php5,
Apache 1.3
  vs. 2). 

  kolab-resource-handlers conflicts indirectly with
kolab-webadmin, and
  the URL for the interface is konsistent (/admin vs.
/kolab-webadmin).o
  (kolab-resource-handlers: Depends: libapache2-mod-php4 but
it is not
  going to be installed)

  I this haven't managed to get the postfix filters up.
(right now I'm
  running a straight postfix config without all the hooks.)

* Junk etch and run sarge.

  I'm not sure how current the packages are for sarge, but
some website
  lists sarge as the base for some of the developers.


So: What's the consensus on this question? Any advise for
me?

Thanks,

/ol

This is the most stable option, thus recommened.
