Some packages were illegitimately backported along with libraries from
Breezy (while others seemingly depended on gcc4), and it made sense at the
time.

These are packages that I'm not interested in transitioning to official
Hoary backports.

Sorry; I haven't had the chance to update that information. I'll do so later
today.

As far as old archive having "severe upgrade issues", I disagree. I have
personally made sure that there are no upgrade issues with these packages --
they all upgrade cleanly to Breezy.

If you have problems bringing some packages into hoary-backports on

I know, and thanks for your help. You guys have been extremely helpful to
the Backports team. These are packages that I didn't find worthwhile to
redo.

Please make a list of packages which need to be processed and what

I'll look over the repository again, and see if anything else needs to be
merged into official hoary-backports.
