I certainly understand that the drupal6 / drupal7 is not Debian's fault

However, it would be good to have some suggestions for Debian users who
each have to deal with this issue.


a) The first thing is long term strategy: will people get better long
term support if they use some other package?  E.g. should I build my
sites on MoinMoin where I can?

This is quite an important question, because if the effort to migrate
drupal6 -> drupal7 is equal to the effort of going to MoinMoin, some
people might go to MoinMoin.  Then again, such simple sites probably
don't rely on the problematic modules anyway.


b) How should people run drupal6 (if they want/need to) - is it better
in some sense to stick with squeeze, or it is better to run the
unsupported drupal6 package on wheezy, or maybe just a list of issues
for people to consider?


c) Is there a list of common non-upgradable modules, or even better, a
script or something to check a drupal6 system to advise the sysadmin
quickly if any of the modules are high/medium/low risk for upgrade?  I
found this `Update Status' module mentioned in Drupal's upgrade guide:
http://drupal.org/project/update_status


d) Although this is a low priority item, anyone still on drupal5
actually needs the drupal6 package as a stepping stone to drupal7
