No, I'd ask them to build correct packages for the current stable version, e.g. etch. If they've got their dependencies correct, I should be able to install packages from other releases without too much anguish. Of course, if I have problem, I shouldn't be surprised to hear "we can't duplicate it on our pure etch system..."
