I thought that there was a mechanism that forced package management
software to be updated first... or that Pre-Depends: somewhere did
this...
The machine was likely behind etch-wise, had I upgraded it first,
would that have helped?
If not, should we perhaps then have a package in etch that would
provide for upgrades, that basically just is apt 0.7.19 compiled for
etch?

I am prepared to say, "yes"
