I am writing an "article" on this and doing research. I currently have a
massive document being worked upon. So far it is ~35 pages and growing.

The theory here is something changed. Something I am not sure which did
where or what.

Currently, I have these conditions, all on freshly installed virtual
machines. I am using:

        sarge/stable installer for sarge/stable
        daily snap etch/testing installer for etch/testing
        daily snap sid/unstable installer for sid/unstable
        daily snap sid/unstable installer for sid/unstable/experimental
        
I my sources.list/apt.conf setup are:

        stable only in apt.conf and sources.list
        stable only in apt.conf
                sarge in sources.list
        stable only in apt.conf
                stable in sources.list
                sarge in sources.list

        sarge only in apt.conf and sources.list
        sarge only in apt.conf
                stable in sources.list
        sarge only in apt.conf
                sarge in sources.list
                stable in sources.list

        testing only in apt.conf and sources.list
        testing only in apt.conf
                etch in sources.list
        testing only in apt.conf
                testing in sources.list
                etch in sources.list

        etch only in apt.conf and sources.list
        etch only in apt.conf
                testing in sources.list
        etch only in apt.conf
                etch in sources.list
                testing in sources.list

        unstable only in apt.conf and sources.list
        unstable only in apt.conf
                sid in sources.list
        unstable only in apt.conf
                unstable in sources.list
                sid in sources.list

        sid only in apt.conf and sources.list
        sid only in apt.conf
                unstable in sources.list
        sid only in apt.conf
                unstable in sources.list
                sid in sources.list

        unstable only in apt.conf
                sid in sources.list
                experimental in sources.list
        unstable only in apt.conf
                unstable in sources.list
                sid in sources.list
                experimental in sources.list

        sid only in apt.conf
                unstable in sources.list
                experimental in sources.list
        sid only in apt.conf
                unstable in sources.list
                sid in sources.list
                experimental in sources.list

From early results thus far, it looks as though I may have to go back to
potato or woody to find what changed where. So please, bug me regular to
finish this, as I may stop working on this... I also need to go through
bugs for apt and dpkg to draw a time line with corresponding bugs and
releases.

Someone PLEASE stop me if this has already been done, this is a lot of
work.
