I am writing an "article" on this and doing research. I currently have a
massive document being worked upon. So far it is ~35 pages and growing.

The theory here is something changed. Something I am not sure which did
where or what.

Currently, I have these conditions, all on freshly installed virtual
machines. I am using:

	sarge/stable installer for sarge/stable
	daily snap etch/testing installer for etch/testing
	daily snap sid/unstable installer for sid/unstable
	daily snap sid/unstable installer for sid/unstable/experimental
	
I my sources.list/apt.conf setup are:

	stable only in apt.conf and sources.list
	stable only in apt.conf
		sarge in sources.list
	stable only in apt.conf
		stable in sources.list
		sarge in sources.list

	sarge only in apt.conf and sources.list
	sarge only in apt.conf
		stable in sources.list
	sarge only in apt.conf
		sarge in sources.list
		stable in sources.list

	testing only in apt.conf and sources.list
	testing only in apt.conf
		etch in sources.list
	testing only in apt.conf
		testing in sources.list
		etch in sources.list

	etch only in apt.conf and sources.list
	etch only in apt.conf
		testing in sources.list
	etch only in apt.conf
		etch in sources.list
		testing in sources.list

	unstable only in apt.conf and sources.list
	unstable only in apt.conf
		sid in sources.list
	unstable only in apt.conf
		unstable in sources.list
		sid in sources.list

	sid only in apt.conf and sources.list
	sid only in apt.conf
		unstable in sources.list
	sid only in apt.conf
		unstable in sources.list
		sid in sources.list

	unstable only in apt.conf
		sid in sources.list
		experimental in sources.list
	unstable only in apt.conf
		unstable in sources.list
		sid in sources.list
		experimental in sources.list

	sid only in apt.conf
		unstable in sources.list
		experimental in sources.list
	sid only in apt.conf
		unstable in sources.list
		sid in sources.list
		experimental in sources.list

From early results thus far, it looks as though I may have to go back to
potato or woody to find what changed where. So please, bug me regular to
finish this, as I may stop working on this... I also need to go through
bugs for apt and dpkg to draw a time line with corresponding bugs and
releases.

Someone PLEASE stop me if this has already been done, this is a lot of
work.
