Hmm...actually, I stand corrected. I assumed that because the docs call
for 1.56 we had already made this decision, but since you asked I just
went and checked, and apparently Debian (go figure) is still on 1.55.

I figure the documentation should be updated, then - we can't require
1.56 if Debian is on 1.55.
