Well, for that issue I'd give precedence to (in this order): - source packages - binary packages of sid - binary packages of experimental - binary packages of testing - binary packages of stable So, it's not heuristic anymore, and only breaks if the result is not well-defined. I think this is acceptable. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
