Except that you would not have this problem with gcc-4.2-base in any
current Debian distribution.

And many others don't.  Worst of all, some packages may be unchanged but
don't work due to changes in _other_ packages that Ubuntu deploys.  This
mostly affects packages in universe which are imported from Debian and
built automatically, but might never have been tested by anyone in
Ubuntu.
