Sid is stable? I want to run testing and not stable, and shouldn't the
packages in testing not be newer than the ones in Sid? And if the
packages in testing should be more recent than the ones in stable, then
why downgrade them to older versions?
Some packages currently installed may be from unstable or experimental
because I needed more recent versions of them --- IIRC, the mumble ones
are. I would want to keep those until testing catches up.

That one I could remove because it isn't used atm.

`----
While (unsuccessfully) trying to use more recent NVIDIA drivers because
with the ones from testing the X-session randomly froze, I added the
i386 architecture because that was recommended. I'm not so sure if that
was a good idea ... Fortunately, the freezing problem seems to have been
fixed :)
BTW, what is the Debian way of specifying different locales for
different users?
