I'm still new to the idea of backports and stuff like 'pinning' a distro but 
it does seem the way to go. There is a certain laziness and recklessness with 
a fast connection to just up the level the distro - with, as they say, 
hilarious results.

Am I right in thinking that they're going to freeze sarge soon and it'll 
become the new stable? My plan, or resolution, is to stick with stable when 
it freezes and start looking more into backports as you suggest.
