I think both. With -fdarcs28, darcsden builds (or used to) with released darcs, otherwise it builds with latest darcs-screened. IIRC darcs hub's darcsden is built darcs-screened, to get the latest fixes.

I have been building it with 7.4.2 till now. I'd love to have someone update it for 7.6 so I don't have to.

You don't need to deploy it to hub to test this, but I guess you feel it's ready for wider use. I'm keen to encourage hacking and to deploy things on hub quickly, as long as they don't disrupt ordinary users.

Great, all help is welcome. I'm much more likely to act on a clear list of steps than to do exploratory hacking right now, as I'm about to go on a family trip till the end of the month.
