Yeah, and every time I upload something new to sid it will get removed and have to be redone, and it will possibly encourage more people who shouldn't be using sid and/or sid+m-a, to keep using it, etc. etc ... Which is a good part of the reason I haven't done this double work either. If the me-too storm proved anything at all, it was that enough people already didn't get it without doing even more work to breed more of them. If it wasn't for that I might have considered doing this more seriously. It's not that hard to fix locally for anyone who cares enough to not just use the simple and robust solution of a chroot, which doesn't have this problem at all. > I am confused, though, how the wheezy problem will be overcome once > there's a stable version of opus released, but I guess you'll figure > that one out. It's kind of an attrition game at this stage, every week that goes by hopefully more of the squeeze users will shift on to wheezy, and once we have a formal stable release, further updates will be less urgent unless they are security related or so. At that point I'll assess whether it is worth doing two versions for anyone who really needs a backport but can't figure out how to undo this patch for themselves. But if all goes well, by the time there is some urgent update to stable opus, squeeze will also be formally EOL too. There's no one answer that wins for everyone here, so I'm basically juggling harm minimisation in what seems like the most reasonable way to minimise the work for the busiest people who do have fairly reasonable expectations to meet. But that is a moving equilibrium, which eventually will tip. It's just moving painfully slowly still :) As these things often do.
