Agreed. If LTS is going to be a permanent thing, this has to change. For any squeeze-lts to jessie upgrades, the ride might become a bit bumpy although I suspect the number of affected packages is *that* big. But no doubt it's above zero. Preventing skip-upgrade for a certain package using technical means doesn't look easy. The only solution available now I can think of is a "come from" version number check in preinst. That's ugly. So again, let's see squeeze-LTS as an experiment. But time is running up if any finding should result in updates policy etc. before the jessie freeze. > and at least one maintainer has > already started to cleanup pre-wheezy stuff from his packages [0]. > [0] I'd be surprised to be the only one, who knows.
