not able to install FR 3.0.16+git in (pure) Debian 9

IMO, there one good idea in the Debian approach:
Treat security fixes sperately from any functional changes.
No matter what improvements a new version brings, you almost
always want to have a stable, secure environment you can build
your next enhancement on. E.g. Debian packaging was broken at least
twice in the FR 3.0.x series. I don't complain about that at all,
but having an intermediate, (security-)bugfix-only release would
give all the production sites out there a very clear and simple
path to *quickly* cope with security issues.

Just a suggestion, though, and surely not a new idea.

Cheers, Martin
