do you think there will be another squeeze point release? I thought it was

No, there won't. :-) I nearly added a note to clarify that, but I was continuing Matthias's example which was centred around squeeze.

Updating openjdk-6 in LTS to a version > 6b27-1.12.5-1 will still cause
the same problem, yes. I haven't checked the archive constraints for
-lts, but certainly having it contain more recent packages than wheezy
would at the very least break the principle of least surprise.

be surprised:

$ ssh coccia.debian.org dak ls debian-security-support
debian-security-support | 2014.09.07~bpo70+1 | wheezy-backports | source, all debian-security-support | 2014.09.07 | testing | source, all debian-security-support | 2014.09.07 | unstable | source, all debian-security-support | 2014.09.11~deb6u1 | squeeze-lts | source, all
$ dpkg --compare-versions 2014.09.11~deb6u1 gt 2014.09.07 ; echo $?
0

That was unexpected. :-)

Regards,

Adam
