} As far as the general trend goes, I think new package uploads are expected
} to be built under woody, or at least, built with current woody shared
} libraries (unless, of course, you're building a bugfix for a previous
} release). This can be quite tricky to achieve you aren't actually running

} half your box to woody before you can build a package using the new
} libraries.
You can use a woody chroot, though, to build and also to test.
