For my own backports I have been changing the debhelper version dependency in the debian/control file to specify the woody version. I have not backported debhelper. This process has worked pretty well so far. Note that I follow the lead of others and I decrement the version and add a unique identifier. This way when sarge releases and a sarge update done the backported packages will be automatically upgraded to the official Debian repository versions. I only do this when I need to make any modifications to the package. If it is just a straight recompile then I usually am lazy and I don't modify the package at all. Just curious, what programs are you trying to backport? Perhaps there can be some help on the list for them in addition to the debhelper issues. Bob
