Why don't you just get the source for nmap and build it on your potato
system?  The dependency on woody/sid just means that nmap was compiled
for woody/sid.  There is nothing preventing you from compiling your own
copy that will work just fine on potato.

It really doesn't make much sense to upgrade your whole distribution
(risking instability, incompatibility, insecurity, etc) just for the new
version of nmap.

noah
