To equate them is a mistake. I'm not suggesting that they're the same, I'm suggesting that by making backports official it would be self defeating (why not just update stable?) and complicate things for developers (now they have two stable packages to follow). There's a time and a place for backports, but to make it an official part of Debian would be complicated for developers and confusing for users. -- Paul Johnson baloo@ursine.ca
