Indeed it does.  But...

...so now we know.  Thanks David.  I always forget about
packages.debian.org.

I must confess I'd never heard about pkgsrc before but I've heard only
good things about *BSD OSes, so I've no doubt pkgsrc does a great job.

I see that guile-pg from pkgsrc also depends on a 1.6 Guile although
it's much more up-to-date (version 0.36 versus Debian's 0.16).

Are you planning to release a 1.8-compatible guile-pg pkgsrc package
anytime soon?
