Hello,
The debview package (an Emacs mode to view Debian packages) and the
debbbugs-el package (Emacs helpers for the Debian BTS) have been merged
into a new package called `debian-el':
debian-el: Emacs helpers specific to Debian users
This package contains:

After a year of using Debian 1.3 without ever upgrading packages via ftp, I
got my 2.0 CDs and upgarded via apt. It went great.
Now, a few weeks later, I decide to try to upgrade packages via ftp.
I edit /etc/apt/sources.list and run
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade
Wow! It's great! Super
Hey, /usr/doc/apt/guide.text answered my question!
I could still use apt-get to upgrade only a few packages using

Cool. Have you compiled this?
(Which do you pick? lm78-1.2.3.tgz or lm_sensors-1.4.6.tar.gz)
