yeah, thanks for clarifying :D
There are even other corner situations: bugs can be even of priority
"important" (IIRC) and can even not being reported yet; if checking
the new upstream release you notice a fix for a really bad bug but the
bug is still not reported, you might even evaluate to backport the
patch to the current lenny version.
