At this point, as

1) it seems that the Smart Folks have figured out how to address the
last known release blocker for 1.7 (the whole UTF filename thing), so
1.7.1 should be "relatively" imminent -- my personal supposition,
carries no official weight, yadda yadda yadda

2) your effort is at a premium

3) Those who disagree with "throwing the switch" for 1.5 can easily
switch back using the alternatives system

I say keep on as you have planned: one package to rule them all, and
throw the switch for both.

IMO.
