Jesus might know better but from what I see, Debian etch hasn't been
released yet as Debian Stable and packages are updated at a rate
comparable to that of Debian Sid (unstable). They will probably include
the final release of Xfce 4.4 if it happens to come out in time for the
Etch release. Any Debian packagers around care to comment about that?

Debian stable is not about the latest and greatest, it's about true and
tried packages on a solid platform.
