Aug 05 2007 - latest working compiz-fusion:
Nov 22 2007 - tested for accuracy and funcitonality.
Dec 15 2007 - tested for accuracy - added fusion-icon
If you use Debian Stable this is not for you. If you want stability this is not for you.
If you already have Beryl or Compiz installed you may or may not experience issues. If you do, my suggestion is to remove any other compiz related packages, especially packages from any other repos including offical Debian.
