what's holding up x 4.3 from going into sid?
There's some xv-enhancements for my old C&T chip I need.
I did it manually once. I don't feel like messing with experimental.
Should I just do it manually? Is it going to be a long time?

What features of en_CA distinguish it from en_US?
Is the currency symbol "$" ?? Sort order different?
When I install a package with dpkg -i (say one I made myself with
dh_make, or one from make-kpkg), the next time I run aptitude,
it is selected for automatic removal.
I highlight it, hit "i", and from then on it stays on my system.
I like how apt aggressively removes packages with no dependencies
