Putting things from one component to another via pull or copy*
primitives is currently not supported (it would need logic to copy
around the files, which is not currently there, and some more way to specify
from which compontents to which components to copy stuff).
The current description in the manpage (in CVS) is:
| .B copysrc \fIdestination-codename\fP \fIsource-codename\fP
\fIsource-package\fP \fR[\fP\fIversions\fP\fR]\fP
| look at each package
| (where package means, as usual, every package be it dsc, deb or udeb)
| in the distribution specified by \fIsource-codename\fP
| and identifies the relevant source package for each.
| All packages matching the specified \fIsource-package\fP name
| (and any \fIversion\fP if specified)
| are copied to the \fIdestination-codename\fP distribution.
| The packages are copied verbatim, no override files are consulted.
| Only components and architectures present in the source distribution are
| copied.
Do you think that makes it reasonably clear one cannot copy from one
component to another? Or could that need some improvements?
Hochachtungsvoll,
