if you want bleeding edge, search on apt-get.org (was: Re: etch or later?)

Searching for evince at apt-get.org gives 3 hits:

http://www1.apt-get.org/search.php?query=evince&submit=Submit+Query&arch%5B%5D=i386&arch%5B%5D=all

The one at http://www.apt-get.org/list/?site=466 would give you 0.5.3.

As Micha Lenk said: you don't _have_ to use backports.org.  However, _I_
am happy with the "strict" policy backports advertised.  At least, you
know what you're getting :)

Bye,

Joost
