In which way? You are talking about pain, but not which one…
The case I saw today was someone with "lenny" for their main mirror, and
"stable/updates" for security.d.o, which resulted in the user getting
their system into a state such that they couldn't install some packages.
As to non-Debian uses, surely these could be configured by a particular
distribution (or the "I know what I'm doing flag" set to bypass these
checks)?
