Yeah, sure... Nautilus is version 0.8.2. That's because the (said broken
by the maintainers) version 1.0.1 (or so) that's packaged for x86
already doesn't compile on PPC. (2 files missing in the music-view
component)

They're trying to do their best. It does work fine on a stable
installation, like what they say they support. Unstable is not
supported, testing is still a target moving too fast (and the problem is
that you can't say "I want Gnome from Ximian and the rest from Debian"
and that messes up things a lot.
