There are problems: 1. e2fsprogs ships libraries and header files, and any of the packages using those (dump, mc, ...) would get built with the wrong version of the headers/libs even for fixes that should be propagated to woody 2. if 1.23-x is in sid, and a fix for 1.22 is required for woody, then it cannot be done correctly, as the new package should go through sid, and this wouldn't be possible. Even if we bump the epoch to get 1:1.22-5 >> 1.23-1, then the people running sid would get a problem because their 1.23 would get downgraded This looks like a major problem with the current implementation of testing - one more that would advocate direct uploads into testing, or at least through a testing-fixes. That would allow maintainers to do maintainance of a "stable" version in testing, while still doing development on a sid version, when just using "experimental" is inadequate.
