[Koha-devel] Supported Debian versions

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

Galen, I missed this email on my inbox. I agree with your proposal, and
also with not abruptly ending support for Wheezy. The patches I wrote for
integrating the sitemap feature on the packages (bug 16016) were written
with the IfVersion wrapper already.
