For jquery, the issue is to have multiple versions of the same library installed at the same time in a single system. Since you're raising the topic, I feel like I should explain. This isn't the need of OpenStack, which is: - everyone uses Wheezy and an unofficial backport repository. - upstream is mooving too fast (6 months release cycle, deprecation of old-stable release after 10 months). - the OpenStack repository is huge (hundreds of megs), and so it makes sense to have something separate from standard backports. - all distributions are doing separate backport repos (Ubuntu cloud-archive, RedHat RDO, etc.) because of the same reasons above. This isn't new: Debian PPAMAIN would be the perfect fit. But its not looking like it's coming fast, which is why I asked the FTP masters what could be done now, though I didn't get a reply from them (too busy?).
