   To my knowledge.  I stopped using only temporarily, as I wanted to change
what version I'm using, but haven't actually updated the Debian package as
yet...

   For what?  The FTN side messages?

  Well, why not?

  What I'm referring to there is the definition of the following defaults in
config.make:  DEFAULT_F_NEWSLIBDIR & DEFAULT_F_NEWSSPOOLDIR.   Those are
different for the different versions of INN;  explictly mentioned in the
v4.4.10 config.make are INN 1.7, 2.2, & 2.3.4.
