Not to discourage any help, but the ax.25 upstream doesn't update all that
frequently. If you are following Debian's STABLE release the packages are
often quite old (stable doesn't update because it's, well, stable).
If you are following TESTING they are sometimes a bit fresher.
Honestly there has not been a Debian Developer who has stepped up to do
much with the ax.25 stuff for a long time. Right now I don't have a packet
station set up so testing the packages is not an option for me.
