Backporting debhelper

[Ismael Valladolid Torres <ismael@sambara.org>]

Hi,

Looking at the list archives, I know this has been discussed before.

I am trying to backport some packages from unstable to woody. For some 
of them, I get stuck into something like a "dependencies loop", 
specially debhelper.

The source for debhelper 4.1.52 can be compiled, but not installed, as 
it depends on debconf-utils at least 1.1.1. Version 1.2.35 is available, 
but for building, it depends on debhelper at least 4.1.27, that 
obviously is not available (woody version is 4.0.2).

So, whether some of you, nice guys and gals, keep the sources for one of 
those previous versions suposedly compilable from stable-only build 
dependencies, but not available in the main pool (debhelper_4.1.27 or 
debconf_1.1.1) or I am stuck forever.

By the way, Google has not been useful searching for those sources.

Any feedback would be very useful, so thanks in advance.

Regards, Ismael
