I wanted to update even to newer netpbm than stable, but I don't want
to port our patches.

I have upstreamed some patches, some of them to stable, some of them
to advanced. But upstream didn't accept patches like security.patch, 
security2.patch and similar.

That's why I decided to stay on super-stable. If you want work on 
this, welcome.

Documentation needs to be fixed, please file a bugreport or remind
me manually later.

Thanks,
Petr
