XFree86 4.3.0 backports



Hi,

I updated my woody backport[0] to 4.3.0-2. Actually not worth a mail,
but there was some comfusion about the versioning. The backport of
4.3.0-2 is versioned 4.3.0-1.woody.1.

Q: Why not 4.3.0-2.woody.1 (so the first number in the Debian version
   is identical with the one from woody's package)?
A: Because 4.3.0-2.woody.1 > 4.3.0-1.woody.1, and so when upgrading to
   sid now the backport will not be replaced with 

Q: Why not 4.3.0-1.woody.2 (so the last number in the Debian version
   is identical with the one from woody's package)?
A: Because I higher the last number when I just update the backport.

Q: Why not 4.3.0~2.woody.1?
A: Because woody's dpkg doesn't support this version number.

Q: Debian woody is completely outdated, and nobody cares about it any
   longer! Debian sid rul3z !!!!11
A: Use your mailreaders killfile to get rid of my mails.
