We still cant keep adding packages to a LTS release or we are just
looking at problems in the future. Im not saying that there will or wont
be issues but every update you make has potential to bring in bugs. I
would suggest we update most of these pakcages during the point
releases. as in 8.04.1 as we did in dapper. that way everything is
updated at once and is less likely to introduce new bugs.
