--- Begin Message ---Package: release-notes Severity: normal As discussed on backports-users[1], the paragraph about backports.org is now a bit confusing. Now that lenny has been released, there are some packages from squeeze going into etch-backports. However, the lenny release notes state: 4.2.5.1. Using backports.org packages backports.org is a semi-official repository provided by Debian GNU/Linux developers, which provides newer packages for the stable release, based on a rebuild from the packages from the “testing” archive. The backports.org repository mainly contains packages from “testing”, with reduced version numbers so that the upgrade path from etch backports to lenny still works. This last paragraph suggests that the packages in etch-backports all have lower versions than their respective packages in lenny so that any updates to the lenny package will be installed over the old package from etch-backports. Since this is no longer the case, I think there needs to be a note added here to inform users they may have packages installed from etch-backports which are versions from squeeze.
