[Question about the backports deposits]

[Sylvain Alain]

Hello everybody, I have a question that nobody can explain to me why it's 
like this :

So, there you go :

I want to know why Azureus,Amule and Java are not present in the official 
backports deposit.
In fact, I have actived the mirrormax line to be able to use this 
documentation installation guide :http://ubuntuguide.org/

In fact, there my 2 sources.list.

The first one is when I'm not in Québec, and the other is when i'm home.

Also, I want to know why the hoary-backports are official, and why the 
hoary-extras are not.

Also, is there any source file(not binary) that I can use for the 
backports...in fact can I use this line
deb-src http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/ubuntu/ hoary-backports main 
restricted universe
multiverse

And is there any advantage to use the source or binary will do the job ?

Finally, what is the difference between the hoary-extras and hoary-backports 
?

Thanks you in advance.

P.S I wrote in English to make sure that everybody will understand :)
J'ai écris en Anglais, car je voulais être sûr que le plus de monde possible 
puisse me répondre :)

Salut
