Well, two problems I can see:
1. Woody will eventually go away to archive.debian.org land, not long
after sarge is released.
2. There are woody Python packages that want libdb1, which disappears
from libc6 in sid/sarge.
I agree we shouldn't keep it around forever, but it seems like as long
as people are using python1.5 with post-woody we should keep it.
