Hi Steffen
I read again the emails we exchanged on this subject, and I am not sure that
not using the "~" magic is done on purpose. The problem is that once a
repository started without, it is not easy to introduce it. Especially since we
have a similar philosophy for the backports, I think that the unofficial
packages we distribute should not take precedence over Debian's main archive.
