Joeyh's packages aren't the only example. I have a newer version of
one of my packages in potato than in slink, because some people might want
to follow that. There are no bugs against my packages that I can fix
(I have already offered to give away the one that does have bugs, because
it's not maintained upstream and I don't know how to fix it).
As Joey has said, a centralised archive is one of Debian's best features.
