Am sure Thayer has a reason for not updating but I leave it to him to comment and close :)

I believe our party line is to include the latest "stable" version, but unless anyone sees a problem with pushing the development version to extra I'm fine with it too.

Well i dont consider the request that important, according to pkgstats around 250 people have it installed which isnt that much.
I dont currently use it myself, and never have used it extensively, but Debian also has the 0.6pre2 in their experimental branch which i guess under normal circustances doesnt host devel versions either.
I dont know if its gonna break anything for the people using it. The ChangeLog says:
* The four following configuration options have been deprecated and will no longer be accepted by abook:
* emailpos * extra_column * extra_alternative * extrapos
They have been replaced with a single more flexible option: index_format.

Maybe upgrade and if someone complains, revert back :P
I leave totally up to you.

pushed...if anybody encounters issues with the 2006 pre-release, please open a new ticket and I will consider rolling back to the last "stable" release.
