Of course, the packages do need Dependency tweaking. For example,
woody's reportbug Conflicts with python (>> 2.3), hence needs to be
rebuilt with other dependencies (or from unstable) to run on woody
with backported python subsystem.

Same with python-apt, which Depends on python (>= 2.1), python (<<
2.2).
