If "support" means "allow in the archive" then I think for we support only
packages built in a minimal uptodate system (until we disable uploading
binaries).
If "support" means "guarantee that a package will be able to build" then I
don't think we can guarantee anything, but improving this would be nice
(so normal bug downgradable to wishlist).
If "support" means "guarantee that a package will be able to build and
ther result will function in the same way as the official package" then I
don't think it's a goal for our distribution, we ship binaries for that
and we make various promises about those binaries.
