    A failed kernel compile when trying to bring stability to a machine
constitutes as a problem in my book.

    Given that I told it to build with 2.95 and it failed in the same manner
as with 3.3 but when I installed 2.95 from Woody which ONLY installs 2.95 it
succeeded I, quite frankly, don't care if it compiled with 1.10.0.101.10.2. 
2.95 should install what it says it installs, 2.95.  Debian has version
numbers in the names for a reason and that reason being when people NEED the
previous version and not to upgrade to the current one.

    See the whole thread about exim vs exim4 as reference.
