You said one mail before in this thread "my repositories are large
enough to fulfill the current desktop user's needs and you can get OO
and Mozilla elsewhere". That's correct. The more outdated Debian stable
becomes many people tend to have half a dozen different backport sources
in their sources.list. Imagine there's a different XFree86 4.3 backport
with a higher version number where all g++ libraries are compiled
correctly with g++ 3.2 (e.g. because this source will give the user a
more recent Mozilla) - after a dist-upgrade all packages compiled with
your broken backport libraries will stop working.
