I meant to reply to this before. May not be needed now as you seem to
have decided to build for Jessie and Stretch anyway...

I find it useful to have precompiled binaries for Debian stable (my
production system) and Debian testing (my development system).

Of course, Tino provides packages but I have sometimes found it useful
to be able to use your latest build before they have appeared in the
distribution.

I build my own versions when I am doing development.  But I still find
it convenient to have a "standard" version installed so I can compare
behaviour :-)  And just knowing that it is building for you is very
helpful when it isn't building for me!

So, I could certainly live without your builds -- Tino's packages would
normally meet my needs and I could always build if I needed to.  But I
do use your versions and appreciate having them available.
