Yes. In practice, this covers the vast majority of things you want to use; if you want something newer than what's in Debian stable, use testing (or perhaps unstable, but expect brokenness and subscribe to at least debian-devel-announce). If you really care, use the equivs package to make a fake empty package, or build a real Debian package (either by using Debianized source or after reading through the New Maintainers' Guide off of http://www.debian.org/devel/). -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
