For little trivial things like dockapps, well, I wouldn't care, but it can get
messy. If you are going to use pinning and grab stuff from different
branches, it is really best to grab the src-deb with apt-build and compile it
(well there's no apt-build in woody, so you'll have to compile src-debs
manually if using woody).
Mostly, like every other linux distro, packages compiled for other distros
don't work. Thankfully, debian has almost *everything*.
