Or put another way, known working copies for quality control purposes 
:-) Ardour developers can't be expected to support binaries that distros 
break.

I agree this is not best practice, but I don't think it was worth 
removing Ardour from testing (and therefore Lenny) over. Many other 
packages have far more lines of code, including OpenOffice.org and 
Iceweasel, but no-one suggests removing those.

Also GTK+ I think.

Looking at:

http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2008/01/01/ardour_1:2.1-1.1_sid32.buildlog.gz

is like ancient history. As you point out in your note on the bug, we 
really need fresh output to know if this is still a problem. Another 
'bug' that wasn't worth losing Ardour from Lenny for.

Cheers!
