As a user of several backports (namely kde3 and OOo), I must confirm
Adrian's stance. The lastest example I stumbled upon is that if you
install kdebase-dev (or even qt3-dev) from the backport, you can't
install libgtk2.0-dev from woody, because both depend on different
libpng*-dev which are in conflict with each other.
So with this backport, I must choose between being able to build qt or
gtk apps, but not both. Nice, eh ?
