I understand the point of view of not fixing bugs at the end life of

2.5.0.0 in the official repo while 3.0.2.2 has been out before the
package freeze for Gutsy.
Azureus is a special case. The packaging was sufficiently convoluted
that no developer was willing to touch it. I substantially more sane
package has been uploaded to Hardy and work is ongoing to backport it
(need to backport iced tea first).

I checked the source of Azureus and the patches applied made me back
away from trying to update it but now you are saying because of the
patches applied by the Ubuntu developers even they couldn't update it
anymore?
So what's in place to have this not happen anymore? Because it can
happen to any package.
