This is something I've been wondering about for a while, and today I see a good example with the latest release of Debian 5.0.
I'm using spamassassin from volatile (3.2.5-2+lenny1.1~volatile1) and the latest version in main is now spamassassin 3.2.5-2+lenny2 which apt wants to upgrade to. I know I can pin to the release in volatile, but is there any harm in letting apt upgrade from a pkg in volatile to a newer pkg from main, and then later upgrading back to a newer version that would appear in volatile? I guess my core question is this: Are the pkgs (not just SA) released for main compatible (conf files, paths, DBs, etc) with pkgs released for volatile?
