Laurent has put up a claim with which you disagree out of guessing, 
without putting up any demonstrable or testable counter-proof yourself.

If I rephrase what you're saying, you're basically expecting others to 
make sure your environment still works as you see fit across the wheezy-
to-jessie upgrade, right?

That's really too bad, because you're exactly the one best person to 
detect problems, write constructive bug reports or provide patches (or 
wording suggestions) for the upgrade notes to make sure your environment 
will work as you see fit after the upgrade to Jessie (be it for dist-
upgrades or new installations, by the way).

If you are not doing the work needed, why would others? You seem to be 
projecting very high expectations onto the Debian project and its 
volunteers, without acknowledging the fact that you're getting this work 
exactly for free, which I think is unfair (but that's probably just me).
