I did so but got the response:

<sgran> W: Unable to locate package python-nouvelle
<mhy> it's only in lenny/sid
<weasel> you lose.
<mhy> weasel: I don't, I don't care
<sgran> that'll be a no, then
<weasel> mhy: not you.  the other you
<sgran> the you standing behind the other you.  yes, you
<an3as> Sorry, I'm new here - are some people paranoid. ;-))
<an3as> Is there any suggestion for David what he could do?
<sgran> sorry about that
<sgran> I don't like to have lots of backports without good reason
<sgran> if there is some other way he can achieve the same functionality, I would appreciate
<sgran> it
<an3as> I perfectly agree with the intention to keep backports low.
<an3as> Any hint for David?
<sgran> I can install the other packages, but I'm guessing that since he's asking for lenny versions, he'll also probably be wanting newer versions
<sgran> I don't know the python libraries all that well, so not from me, sorry
<an3as> I guess he intents to use new versions ...

Kind regards

          Andreas.
