* Debian packages exist for 1.2.6 and 1.3.x-dev : they can be installed 
concurently, and 1.3 use a *copy* of the 1.2 conf files

> - Are there any drawbacks I have to know about?
* I didn't really use 1.2.6, so I can't tell.
* you should stick to the latest 1.3.x at all times, thus recompile 
everything at each release. Not much work, at this level of stability, 
though.
* take care if you use many plug-ins and patches : some won't compile 
out of the box when a new release gets out, but that's the fun of a 
developper version
* you have to sign-up for mandatory bug reporting ;-)
