Josselin, sarcasm as a way of making a point is a two-edged sword, and in this case not really helpful. Save it for the flamewars on debian-devel and on planet.debian.org instead... To OP: Josselin is just being unhelpful; linux kernel 2.6.30 has already been integrated in Debian unstable, as has most (all?) of GNOME 2.26), so there are not only plans to introduce these enhancements in Debian; it has already happened. However, as a rule Debian does not backport new features to the stable distribution, only security and stability fixes are backported. Hence you'll either have to use unstable/testing, or wait until the next release. For some packages, there are backports available from backports.org. I don't think there are any GNOME-packages available from backports.org, but at least the latest kernel is available.
