Consider all the users who are running stable, plus a backport of some servers, or a chromium or firefox installed from upstream because stable's is too old. Consider the users who have so many backports installed that they start to encounter integration problems between them. Consider users who install Ubuntu because there is no usable Debian release with a kernel new enough for their hardware, but then have to fight with it to disable some "Unity" thing. These are all use cases for CUT. -- see shy jo
