And the other adress:
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sarge main contrib non-free
seems to work but wants to install newer packages which are in SID (IMHO).

Can someone clarify this please? The FAQ, the AMD64 and the archive structure document (alioth seems to be down just now, so I haven't got the URIs) all differ just enough to be confusing :-)

I find broken package dependencies in critical cases (libc6-dev is included) when I have used either sarge or sid from debian-pure64. Will these go away if I use pure64? I am on a low bandwidth connection ATM, so I can't test easily.
