Surely, if you do that, the virtual will just pull in another source package when the version you have unmasked it dropped from the tree? I don't want that much control, because that also carries the responsibility of ensuring I am not running a kernel with a security flaw. Just sticking to stable sources give infrequent, but important, updates. -- Neil Bothwick Snacktrek, n.: The peculiar habit, when searching for a snack, of constantly returning to the refrigerator in hopes that something new will have materialized.
