For the life of me I do not understand why this is in the Debian Live
mailing list but a couple of things need clarifying, well I think they do
anyway.

>>oh umm this are out of the main threat.. i want to use the
archive.debian.net interface, that's all, i only have help from someone to
restore, but i refuse that u said.. u are wrong, at the moment o wheeze,
ejabbed was many years outdated!!!

I think you need to understand Debian's policy of not upgrading versions
within a release. If the package you are referring to was "many years
outdated" when wheezy (as testing) entered freeze  it would never be
upgraded to a newer release in the regular or security repositories. It
could, however, be upgraded in the backport repositories which I believe is
what  Philipp mentioned.

>>so ok, lest see, its not in the main.. so most novice users not have that
and not know..

It is up to the user to know what is in their system. If you are running a
server, of all things, you the admin of that server need to know what is
available. You seemed to know the package in main was "many years outdated"
so you had done research to find that out but you failed to do research to
find out if a more updated version was available for the system you decided
to use. A quick search of Debian packages found this
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ejabberd&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all&sourceid=mozilla-search
so in the time it took you to complain here you could have done a search,
updated your sources.list, and updated your system.

Now that is out of the way I am still at a loss to work out why this is in
the Debian live mailing list.
