This is sub-optimal. Since the package IS in woody, we probably should have
it also in sarge, if only for security updates to be possible.
I really think the woody version should be uploaded to t-p-u. Yes, it is
hideously buggy. But unless we are deprecating apt-proxy completely, it
really should not disappear from stable while remaining on old-stable (and
thus being a problem for people doing upgrades) and sid.
Please consider uploading (a recompiled just to make sure) version of what
is in woody to t-p-u. If any security fixes were made to the apt-proxy in
sid, please backport those to the old version in woody and upload it to
t-p-u.
If there is an intermediate version (someone mentioned 1.3.6?) that is
better, then please update that one instead to t-p-u.
