Having approx on a stable system is nice. Using it from the said stable system is also nice. And works. But if one is only using it for that particular system, I guess approx isn't really needed? What doesn't work: having wheezy/sid/… chroots on the same system, pointing to the host approx. Ditto for virtual machines. And having near-by machines pointing to that approx also fails, be them non-stable systems, and/or having non-stable chroots, and/or non-stable containers, and/or virtual machines, etc. That looks like a lot of valid use cases just started failing just because the archive got changed; that's why I think approx should (also) be fixed in stable.
